Famous quotes containing the words billy and/or bonds:

    “Although I’d lie lapped up in linen
    A deal I’d sweat and little earn
    If I should live as live the neighbours,”
    Cried the beggar, Billy Byrne....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings ...
    And while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high, untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
    John Gillespie Magee (c. 1922–1941)
