Refugee/history

Famous quotes containing the words refugee and/or history:

    The refugee uncertain at the door
    You make at home; deftly you steady
    The drunk clambering on his undulant floor.

    I saw the Arab map.
    It resembled a mare shuffling on,
    dragging its history like saddlebags,
    nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.
