Big Thompson

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or thompson:

    “We have no prairies
    To slice a big sun at evening—
    Everywhere the eye concedes to
    Encroaching horizon,
    Is wooed into the cyclops’ eye
    Of a tarn.”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    “Fold up the banners! Smelt the guns!
    Love rules, Her gentler purpose runs.
    A mighty mother turns in tears
    The pages of her battle years,
    Lamenting all her fallen sons!”
    —Will Henry Thompson (1848–1918)
