Hundred Years War/second Peace - 1389-1415

Famous quotes containing the words years, war and/or peace:

    It takes twenty or so years before a mother can know with any certainty how effective her theories have been—and even then there are surprises. The daily newspapers raise the most frightening questions of all for a mother of sons: Could my once sweet babes ever become violent men? Are my sons really who I think they are?
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    Of course in war all madnesses come out in a man, that is the fault of war not of a man or a nation.
    Frieda Lawrence (1879–1956)

    And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
    Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
    There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
    And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
