Breech Loading Mortar

Famous quotes containing the words loading and/or mortar:

    Nitrates and phosphates for ammunition. The seeds of war. They’re loading a full cargo of death. And when that ship takes it home, the world will die a little more.
    Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)

    For the first time I’m content to see
    What poor mortar and bricks
    I have to build with, knowing that I can
    Never in seventy years be more a man
    Than now a sack of meal upon two sticks.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
