Wounded

Famous quotes containing the word wounded:

    “But the dark changed to red, and torches shone,
    And deafening music shook the leaves; a troop
    Shouldered a litter with a wounded man,
    Or smote upon the string and to the sound
    Sang of the beast that gave the fatal wound.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Nature herself her shape admires;
    The gods are wounded in her sight;
    And Love forsakes his heavenly fires
    And at her eyes his brand doth light:
    Heigh ho, would she were mine!”
    —Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)

    “A needless Alexandrine ends the song,
    That, like a wounded snake, drags its slow length along.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
