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)

    “Lord’s lost Him His mockingbird,
    His fancy warbler;
    Satan sweet-talked her,
    four bullets hushed her.
    Who would have thought
    she’d end that way?”
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
