Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or honours:

    “The thundering line of battle stands,
    And in the air Death moans and sings:
    But Day shall clasp him with strong hands,
    And Night shall fold him in soft wings.”
    —Julian Grenfell (1888–1915)

    “If a novel reveals true and vivid relationships, it is a moral work, no matter what the relationships consist in. If the novelist honours the relationship in itself, it will be a great novel.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
