Henry Timrod Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: December 8, 1828 - October 7, 1867
Birthday: December 8
Death: October 7
And down the dunes a thousand guns lie crouched,Unseen, beside the flood -Like tigers in some Orient jungle crouchedThat wait and watch for blood.Meanwhile, through streets still echoing with trade,Walk grave and thoughtful men,Whose hands may one day wield the patriot's bladeAs lightly as the pen.
