Famous quotes containing the words declare and/or war:
“I declare this tower is my symbol; I declare
This winding, gyring, spiring treadmill of a stair is my ancestrail stair;
That Goldsmith and the Dean, Berkeley and Burke have travelled there.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“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)
