Owen

Famous quotes containing the word owen:

“‘I shall be one with nature, herb, and stone’,
Shelley would tell me. Shelley wound be stunned:

The dullest Tommy hugs that fancy now.
‘Pushing up daisies’ is their creed, you know.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

“He sat in a wheeled chair, waiting for dark,
And shivered in his ghastly suit of grey,
Legless, sewn short at elbow.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

“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)
