Famous quotes containing the words fight and/or night:
“And everybody praised the Duke
Who such a fight did win.—
But what good came of it at last?
Quoth little Peterkin.—
Why that I cannot tell, said he,
But ‘twas a famous victory.”
—Robert Southey (1774–1843)
“Alone and alone nine nights I lay
Between two bushes under the rain;
I thought to have whistled her down that way,
I whistled and whistled and whistled in vain.
Oro, oro!
To-morrow night I will break down the door.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
