Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or arnold:

    No one left and no one came
    On the bare platform. What I saw
    Was Adlestrop—only the name—

    And willows, willow-herb, and grass,
    —Edward Thomas (1878–1917)

    The banners flashing through the trees
    Make their blood dance and chain their eyes;
    That bugle-music on the breeze
    Arrests them with a charm’d surprise.
    Banner by turns and bugle woo:
    Ye shy recluses, follow too!
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
