Famous quotes containing the words hero and/or defeated:
“The hero is a feeling, a man seen
As if the eye was an emotion,
As if in seeing we saw our feeling
In the object seen and saved that mystic
Against the sight, the penetrating,
Pure eye.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Vanquished in life, his death
By beauty made amends:
The passing of his breath
Won his defeated ends.”
