Corpse/history

Famous quotes containing the words corpse and/or history:

    Last night I fled until I came
    To streets where leaking casements dripped
    Stale lamplight from the corpse of flame;
    A nervous window bled.

    A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.
