Bar Kochba Revolt

Famous quotes containing the words bar and/or revolt:

    Think ... before the words—the vows are spoken, which put yet another terrible bar between us.... I call upon you in the name of God ... to be sincere with me—Can you, my Annie, bear to think I am another’s?
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    Distorting hackneyed words in hackneyed songs
    He turns revolt into a style, prolongs
    The impulse to a habit of the time.
    Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
