Famous quotes containing the word thomas:

    “With the noise of the mourning of the Swattish nation!
    Fallen is at length
    Its tower of strength;
    Its sun is dimmed ere it had nooned;
    Dead lies the great Ahkoond,
    The great Ahkoond of Swat
    Is not!”
    —George Thomas Lanigan (1845–1886)
