Famous quotes containing the word brazen:

    “The sun came dazzling through the leaves,

    Of bold Sir Lancelot.”

    “Fergus rules the brazen cars,
    And rules the shadows of the wood,

    And all dishevelled wandering stars.”

    “Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.”
    —Emma Lazarus (1849–1887)
