Famous quotes containing the words fright and/or knights:
“I wage not any feud with Death
For changes wrought on form and face;
No lower life that earths embrace
May breed with him can fright my faith.”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
“The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winters cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
