Besieging Quotes
She hurried at his words, beset with fears, For there were sleeping dragons all around, At glaring watch, perhaps, with ready spears - Down the wide stairs a darkling way they found. - In all the house was heard no human sound. A chain-droop'd lamp was flickering by each door; The arras, rich with horseman, hawk, and hound, Flutter'd in the besieging wind's uproar; And the long carpets rose along the gusty floor.
John Keats

William Westmoreland

Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf
