Closes

Famous quotes containing the word closes:

“The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
The glittering spears are ranked ready;
The shouts o’ war are heard afar,
The battle closes thick and bloody;
But it’s no the roar o’ sea or shore
Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
Nor shout o’ war that’s heard afar,
Its leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)

“I am proud to be a member of a party that opens its doors to all men—and closes its hearts to none.”

“Although glad for the grain, we are
Aware of the husk.
And winter closes on us like a shroud.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
