Boys

Famous quotes containing the word boys:

“As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods,
They kill us for their sport.”

All they could say was ‘God!’ when you proposed
Their coming out and making useful farmers.””

“He turns agen and drives the noisy crowd
And beats the dogs in noises loud.
He drives away and beats them every one,
And then they loose them all and set them on.
He falls as dead and kicked by boys and men,
Then starts and grins and drives the crowd agen;
Till kicked and torn and beaten out he lies
And leaves his hold and cackles, groans, and dies.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)
