Famous quotes containing the words south and/or face:
“Up from the South at break of day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
Like a herald in haste, to the chieftain’s door,
The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.”
—Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–1872)
“It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
