Thompson

Famous quotes containing the word thompson:

    As grand
    And griefless as a rich man’s funeral.
    —Sidney Thompson Dobell (1824–1874)

    I stand amid the dust o’ the mounded years—
    My mangled youth lies dead beneath the heap,
    My days have crackled and gone up in smoke,
    Have puffed and burst as sun-starts on a stream.
    —Francis Thompson (1859–1907)

    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)
