Famous quotes containing the words dropped and/or lost:
“Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
“Then the wife of the skipper lost at sea
Said, “God has touched him! why should we!””
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
