Famous quotes containing the words turned and/or heel:
“There was calm rapture in the way she spoke
Perhaps I would get over the way the joke
Always turned against me, in the end.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The despot’s heel is on thy shore,
Maryland!
His torch is at thy temple door,
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle-queen of yore,
Maryland! my Maryland!”
—James Ryder Randall (1839–1908)
