Famous quotes containing the words plumly and/or thompson:

    “I know if I wake up cold,

    and go out into the clear spring night,
    still dark and precise with stars,
    I will feel the wind coming down hard
    like his hand, in fever, on my forehead.”
    —Stanley Plumly (b. 1939)

    “Above the bayonets, mixed and crossed,
    Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost
    Receding through the battle cloud,
    And heard across the tempest loud
    The death cry of a nation lost!”
    —Will Henry Thompson (1848–1918)
