Riding Losing

Famous quotes containing the words riding and/or losing:

    Eunuchs ran through Hell and met
    On every crowded street to stare
    Upon great Juan riding by:
    Even like these to rail and sweat
    Staring upon his sinewy thigh.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    ... a full notecase,
    Dull Bodley, draught beer, and dark blue,
    And most often losing the Boat Race ...
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
