Famous quotes containing the words syrian, air and/or force:
“If in that Syrian garden, ages slain,
You sleep, and know not you are dead in vain,
Nor even in dreams behold how dark and bright
Ascends in smoke and fire by day and night
The hate you died to quench and could but fan,
Sleep well and see no morning, son of man.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“The names of those who in their lives fought for life,
Who wore at their hearts the fires centre.
Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun,
And left the vivid air signed with their honour.”
—Stephen Spender (19091995)
“Strange how such innocence gets its own way.
I shouldnt be surprised if in this world
It were the force that would at last prevail.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
