Famous quotes containing the words barnes and/or left:

    Leaves of the summer, lovely summer’s pride,
    Sweet is the shade below your silent tree,
    —William Barnes (1801–1886)

    The names of those who in their lives fought for life,
    Who wore at their hearts the fire’s centre.
    Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun,
    And left the vivid air signed with their honour.
    Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
