Famous quotes containing the words owen and/or wilson:
“Move him into the sun—
Gently its touch awoke him once,
At home, whispering of fields half-sown.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
“When Wilson got upon his legs in those days he seems to have gone into a sort of trance, with all the peculiar illusions and delusions that belong to a pedagogue gone mashugga. He heard words giving three cheers; he saw them race across a blackboard like Mexicans pursued by the Polizei; he felt them rush up and kiss him.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
