Defeated

Famous quotes containing the word defeated:

    Vanquished in life, his death
    By beauty made amends:
    The passing of his breath
    Won his defeated ends.
    Lionel Pigot Johnson (1867–1902)

    Stoop, angels, hither from the skies!
    There is no holier spot of ground
    Than where defeated valor lies,
    By mourning beauty crowned!
    Henry Timrod (1828–1867)

    Lest darkness fall and time fall
    In a long night when learned arteries
    Mounting the ice and sum of barbarous time
    Shall yield, without essence, perfect accident.
    We are the eyelids of defeated caves.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
