Dunbar Died

Famous quotes containing the words dunbar and/or died:

    An angel, robed in spotless white,
    Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night.

    He weren’t no saint—but at Jedgment
    I’d run my chance with Jim,
    ‘Longside of some pious gentlemen
    That wouldn’t shook hands with him.

    And went for it, thar an’ then:
    And Christ ain’t a-goin’ to be too hard
    On a man that died for me.
    John Milton Hay (1838–1905)
