Butler Won

Famous quotes containing the words butler and/or won:

    Far-off, most secret, and inviolate Rose,
    Enfold me in my hour of hours; where those
    Who sought thee in the Holy Sepulchre,
    Or in the wine-vat, dwell beyond the stir
    And tumult of defeated dreams....
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Would you hear of an old-time sea-fight?
    Would you learn who won by the light of the moon and stars?
    List to the yarn, as my grandmother’s father the sailor told it to
    me.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
