Command Plant Troops

Famous quotes containing the words command, plant and/or troops:

    I at least have so much to do in unravelling certain human lots, and seeing how they were woven and interwoven, that all the light I can command must be concentrated on this particular web, and not dispersed over that tempting range of relevancies called the universe.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    When they turn the sun
    on again I’ll plant children
    under it, I’ll light up my soul
    with a match and let it sing....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    But, where the road runs near the stream,
    Oft through the trees they catch a glance
    Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
    Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
    Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
    To life, to cities, and to war!
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
