Open Defence

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or defence:

    She saw
    her five young children
    writhe and die;
    in that hour
    she began to watch you,
    she whose eyes are open forever.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Behold now this vast city; a city of refuge, the mansion house of liberty, encompassed and surrounded with his protection; the shop of war hath not there more anvils and hammers waking, to fashion out the plates and instruments of armed justice in defence of beleaguered truth, than there be pens and hands there, sitting by their studious lamps, musing, searching, revolving new notions.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
