Famous quotes containing the words day and/or battle:
“Yet the day wears,
And door succeeds door;
I try the fresh fortune
Range the wide house from the wing to the centre,
Still the same chance! she goes out as I enter.
Spend my whole day in the quest,who cares?”
—Robert Browning (18121889)
“Above the bayonets, mixed and crossed,
Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle cloud,
And heard across the tempest loud
The death cry of a nation lost!”
—Will Henry Thompson (18481918)
