Dropped Catches

Famous quotes containing the words dropped and/or catches:

    “Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
    But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
    Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
    Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.”
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    “All catches alight
    At the spread of spring:
    Birds crazed with flight
    Branches that fling
    Leaves up to the light”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
