Quotes Power and Conflict Flashcards
Sneer
of cold command
Half sunk
a shattered visage lies
two vast and
trunkless legs of stone
king
of kings
a shaven head
full of powerful incantations
little fishing boats, strung out like
bunting on a green-blue translucent sea
a tuna, the dark
prince, muscular, dangerous
as though he
no longer existed
he ust have wondered
which was the better way to die
colossal Wreck,
boundless and bare
Someone
had blunder’d
theirs not to make, theirs not to reason, theirs but to
reply, why, do and die
into the jaws of, into the mouth of, rode the six hundred
death, hell
cannon (to the)
left of them, right of them, behind them
honour the
Light Brigade, charge they made, noble six hundred
suddenly he awoke
and was running
he lugged a rifle
numb as a smashed arm
in bewilderment
then he almost stopped
king, honour, human
dignity, et cetera
his terror’s
touchy dynamite
merciless iced east
winds that knife us
but nothing
happens.
we hear the mad gusts tugging on the
wire, like twitching agonies of men
what are we
doing here?
Sudden successive flights of
bullets streak the silence
