Famous quotes containing the word crossed:

    “my eyes filled up like an owl,

    he was a stranger,
    was he not?”

    “Twilight and evening bell.
    And after that the dark!
    And may there be no sadness of farewell,
    When I embark;

    For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
    The flood may bear me far,
    I hope to see my Pilot face to face
    When I have crossed the bar.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “And crossed the dark defile at last, and found
    At Roncevaux upon the darkening plain
    The dead against the dead and on the silent ground
    The silent slain—”
    —Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)
