Famous quotes containing the words gunshot and/or wounds:
“Open the envelope quickly,
O this is not our sons writing, yet his name is signd,
O a strange hand writes for our dear son, O stricken mothers soul!
All swims before her eyes, flashes with black, she catches the main
words only,
Sentences broken, gunshot wound in the breast, cavalry skirmish, taken to hospital,
At present low, but will soon be better.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
“I turn my head to sky rains falling,
wash the wounds of numbness from my soul.
Turn my heart in tides of fierce renewal,
where love and rage run whole.
Come drink deep.”
—Carolyn McDade (20th century)
