Riding Losing

Famous quotes containing the words riding and/or losing:

“Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.”

“... a full notecase,
Dull Bodley, draught beer, and dark blue,
And most often losing the Boat Race ...”
