Famous quotes containing the words army and/or led:
“Man is the end of nature; nothing so easily organizes itself in every part of the universe as he; no moss, no lichen is so easily born; and he takes along with him and puts out from himself the whole apparatus of society and condition extempore, as an army encamps in a desert, and where all was just now blowing sand, creates a white city in an hour, a government, a market, a place for feasting, for conversation, and for love.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The path was a vague parting in the grass
That led us to a weathered windowsill.
We pressed our faces to the pane. “You see,” he said,
“Everything’s as she left it when she died....””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
