Famous quotes containing the words deserts and and/or deserts:

    “No Raven’s wing can stretch the flight so far
    As the torn bandrols of Napoleon’s war.
    Choose then your climate, fix your best abode,
    He’ll make you deserts and he’ll bring you blood.
    How could you fear a dearth? have not mankind,
    Tho slain by millions, millions left behind?
    Has not conscription still the power to weild
    Her annual faulchion o’er the human field?
    A faithful harvester!”
    —Joel Barlow (1754–1812)

    “In the deserts of the heart
    Let the healing fountain start,
    In the prison of his days
    Teach the free man how to praise.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
