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.
    John Hewitt (b. 1907)

    Sad mortals! thus the gods still plague you!
    He lost his labor, I my jest;
    For he was drowned, and I’ve the ague.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
