Lost Nation

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or nation:

    Clogged and soft and sloppy eyes
    Have lost the light that bites or terrifies.
    There are no swans and swallows any more.
    The people settled for chicken and shut the door.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Hath not the morning dawned with added light?
    And shall not evening call another star
    Out of the infinite regions of the night,
    To mark this day in Heaven? At last, we are
    A nation among nations; and the world
    Shall soon behold in many a distant port
    Another flag unfurled!
    Henry Timrod (1828–1867)
