Famous quotes containing the word owen:

“Dead men may envy living mites in cheese,
Or good germs even. Microbes have their joys,
And subdivide, and never come to death.”

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)

“A few, a few, too few for drums and yells,
May creep back, silent, to village wells
Up half-known roads.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
