Sir Thomas Abney

Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or thomas:

    Conscription may have been good for the country, but it damn near killed the army.
    Richard, Sir Hull (b. 1907)

    Altarwise by owl-light in the half-way house
    The gentleman lay graveward with his furies;
    Abaddon in the hangnail cracked from Adam,
    And, from his fork, a dog among the fairies,
    The atlas-eater with a jaw for news,
    Bit out the mandrake with to-morrow’s scream.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
