Fort Owen

Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or owen:

    ‘Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.
    Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

    ‘I shall be one with nature, herb, and stone’,
    Shelley would tell me. Shelley wound be stunned:

    The dullest Tommy hugs that fancy now.
    ‘Pushing up daisies’ is their creed, you know.
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
