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 (18031882)
“The path was a vague parting in the grass

We pressed our faces to the pane. You see, he said,
Everythings as she left it when she died....”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
