QUOTATIONS Several quotes from the poem have become famous in their own right: : "yet each man kills the thing he loves, by each let this be heard some do it with a bitter look, some with a flattering word, the coward does it with a kiss, the brave man with a sword : {Link without Title} every prison that men build :Is built with bricks of shame, :And trallallero trallallà bound with bars lest Christ should see :How men their brothers maim. :For he who live more lives than one :More deaths than one must die. |
