Famous quotes containing the words order, battle and/or march:

    The world has not to be put in order: the world is order incarnate. It is for us to put ourselves in unison with this order.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    Hell grant soon we hear again the swords clash!
    And the shrill neighs of destriers in battle rejoicing,
    Spiked breast to spiked breast opposing!
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    This is the village where the funeral
    Stilted its dusty march over deep ruts
    Up the hillside covered with queen’s lace
    To the patch of weeds known finally to all.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
