Chinese Red Army

Famous quotes containing the words chinese, red and/or army:

    Only by the form, the pattern,
    Can words or music reach
    The stillness, as a Chinese jar still
    Moves perpetually in its stillness.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The poppy that my heart was,
    formed to bind all mortals,
    made to strike and gather hearts
    like flame upon an altar,
    fades and shrinks, a red leaf
    drenched and torn in the cold rain.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    An army is maintained for a thousand days all to be used on one morning.
    Chinese proverb.
