Famous quotes containing the words troy and/or thompson:

    The soldier takes pride in saluting his Captain,
    The devotee proffers a knee to his Lord,
    Some back a mare thrown from a thoroughbred,
    Troy backed its Helen, Troy died and adored;
    Great nations blossom above,
    A slave bows down to a slave.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    She went her unremembering way,
    She went and left in me
    The pang of all the partings gone,
    And partings yet to be.
    —Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
