Famous quotes containing the words barry, butler and/or born:

    But whether on the scaffold high,
    Or in the battle’s van,
    The fittest place where man can die
    Is where he dies for man.
    —Michael J. Barry (1817–1889)

    A barnacle goose
    Far up in the stretches of night; night splits and the dawn breaks loose;
    I, through the terrible novelty of light, stalk on, stalk on;
    Those great sea-horses bare their teeth and laugh at the dawn.
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Oh, little brown girl, born for sorrow’s mate,
    Keep all you have of queenliness,
    Forgetting that you once were slave,
    And let your full lips laugh at Fate!
    Gwendolyn B. Bennett (1902–1981)
