Riding Losing

Famous quotes containing the words riding and/or losing:

    The wanton Troopers riding by
    Have shot my Fawn and it will die.
    Ungentle men! They cannot thrive
    To kill thee. Thou ne’er didst alive
    Them any harm: alas, nor could
    Thy death yet do them any good.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    The eager fate which carried thee
    Took the largest part of me:
    For this losing is true dying;
    This is lordly man’s down-lying,
    This his slow but sure reclining,
    Star by star his world resigning.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
