Quotes Flashcards
Ozymandias
Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stamped of these lifeless things
The hand that mocked them ans the heart that fed
London
Mark in every face I meet
The mind-forged manacles I hear
Plagues the marriage hearse
The prelude
I unloosed her chain
Went heaving through the water like a swan
With trembling oars
There hung a darkness
My last dutchess
That’s my last dutchess on the wall
A heart-how I shall I say? Too soon made glad
Who’d stoop to blame?
Charge of the light brigade
Rode the six hundred
Into the jaws of death
Into the mouth of hell
Exposure
The merciless iced east winds that knife us…
All their eyes are ice
Glazed with crusted dark-red jewels
Storm on the island
Wizened earth
Exploding comfortably
Strange it is a huge nothing that we fear
Bayonet charge
He lugged a riffle numb as a smashed arm
Bullets smacking the belly out of the air
Dropped like luxuries in a yelling alarm
Remains
Probably armed,possibly not
His bloody life in my bloody hands
Tosses his guts back into his body
I see broad daylight on the other side
Poppies
Sellotape bandaged around my hand
The world overflowing like a treasure chest
I listened, hoping to hear your playground voice chatting on the wind
War photographer
A hundred agonies in black and white
Twist before his eyes
The only light is red and softly grows
Tissue
Turned into your skin
Fall away on a sigh
Paper kites
The émigrée
As time rolls it tanks
My memory of its sunlight clear
My shadow falls as evidence of sunlight
Checking me out history
Bandage up me eye with me own history
Dem tell me
Blind me to me own identity
Kamikaze
Flashing silver as their bellies
Journey into history, but half way there
Embraced at sunrise
