Wounded Men

Famous quotes containing the words wounded and/or men:

    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)

    Their beauty sets them aside
    from other men and from women
    unless a woman has that cold fire in her
    called poet....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
