Famous quotes containing the words owen and/or sound:

    Soldiers may grow a soul when turned to fronds,
    But here the thing’s best left at home with friends.
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    O, I am smitten with a hatchet’s jaw;
    And that in deed and not in word alone.
    chorus: I thought I heard a sound within the house
    Unlike the voice of one that jumps for joy.
    He splits my skull, not in a friendly way,
    Once more: he purposes to kill me dead
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
