Defeated

Famous quotes containing the word defeated:

“With a defeated joy,
With an auspicious, and a dropping eye,
With mirth in funeral, and with dirge in marriage,
In equal scale weighing delight and dole.”

“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.”

“Vanquished in life, his death
By beauty made amends:
The passing of his breath
Won his defeated ends.”
