Trophies

Famous quotes containing the word trophies:

    Scatter these well-meant idioms
    Into the smoky spring that fills
    The suburbs, where they will be lost.
    They are no trophies of the sun.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    Vain the ambition of kings
    Who seek by trophies and dead things,
    To leave a living name behind,
    And weave but nets to catch the wind.
    John Webster (1580–1625)

    I have made my bed
    In charnels and on coffins, where black death
    Keeps record of the trophies won
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
