Lost Hero

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or hero:

    This man is quickened so with grief.
    He wanders god-like or like thief
    Inside and out, below, above,
    Without relief seeking lost love.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    ... what a strange time it was! Who knew his neighbor? Who was a traitor and who a patriot? The hero of to-day was the suspected of to-morrow.... There were traitors in the most secret council-chambers. Generals, senators, and secretaries looked at each other with suspicious eyes.... It is a great wonder that the city of Washington was not betrayed, burned, destroyed a half-dozen times.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
