Hewitt Defeated

Famous quotes containing the words hewitt and/or defeated:

    This is our fate: eight hundred years’ disaster,
    crazily tangled like the Book of Kells:
    the dream’s distortion and the land’s division,
    the midnight raiders and the prison cells.
    —John Hewitt (b. 1907)

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