War Time Letters

Famous quotes containing the words war, time and/or letters:

    “—Thus their hands are plucking at each other;
    Picking at the rope-knouts of their scourging;
    Snatching after us who smote them, brother,
    Pawing us who dealt them war and madness.”
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    “The pretty fellows you speak of, I own entertain me sometimes, but is it impossible to be diverted with what one despises? I can laugh at a puppet show, at the same time I know there is nothing in it worth my attention or regard.”
    —Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)

    “Two months dead, I wrestle with your name
    Whose separate letters make a paltry sum
    That is not you.”
    —Howard Moss (b. 1922)
