Bottom Pole

Famous quotes containing the words bottom and/or pole:

“There is something in the breast of almost every man, which at bottom takes offense at the attentions of any other man offered to a woman, the hope of whose nuptial love he himself may have discarded.

The soldier’s pole is fallen!”
