Wolfe Tones

Famous quotes containing the words wolfe and/or tones:

    Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note,
    As his corse to the rampart we hurried;
    —Charles Wolfe (1791–1823)

    There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep; strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, as sand eddies in a whirlwind.
    Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)
