Champion Died

Famous quotes containing the words champion and/or died:

“What a terrible thing has happened to us all! To you there, to us here, to all everywhere. Peace who was becoming bright-eyed, now sits in the shadow of death; her handsome champion has been killed as he walked by her very side. Her gallant boy is dead. What a cruel, foul, and most unnatural murder! We mourn here with you, poor, sad American people.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

“Honour came to me,
though I sought it not;
I died at mid-day, sleeping;
They did not see the reach of purple-wing
that lifted me out of the little room.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
