Famous quotes containing the words hero and/or defeated:
“Dont read much now: the dude
Who lets the girl down before
The hero arrives, the chap
Whos yellow and keeps the store,
Seem far too familiar. Get stewed:
Books are a load of crap.”
—Philip Larkin (19221985)
“Lest darkness fall and time fall
In a long night when learned arteries
Mounting the ice and sum of barbarous time
Shall yield, without essence, perfect accident.
We are the eyelids of defeated caves.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
