Raiders Lost

Famous quotes containing the words raiders and/or lost:

“This is our fate: eight hundred years’ disaster,
crazily tangled like the Book of Kells:
the dream’s distortion and the land’s division,
the midnight raiders and the prison cells.”

To the fisherman lost on the land.
He stands alone at the door of his home,
With his long-legged heart in his hand.”
