Dark Egg Legion

Famous quotes containing the words dark, egg and/or legion:

    He saw the dark wainscot and timbered roof,
    The long tables, and the faces merry and keen;
    The College Eight and their trainer dining aloof,
    The Dons on the dais serene.
    Sir Henry Newbolt (1862–1938)

    Better half an egg than an empty eggshell.
    —Estonian. Trans. by Ilse Lehiste (1993)

    I am sometimes told that “Women aint fit to vote. Why, don’t you know that a woman had seven devils in her: and do you suppose a woman is fit to rule the nation?” Seven devils aint no account; a man had a legion in him.
    Sojourner Truth (c. 1797–1883)
