Field Office

Famous quotes containing the words field and/or office:

    Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow!
    Through the windows—through doors—burst like a ruthless force,
    Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation;
    Into the school where the scholar is studying;
    Leave not the bridegroom quiet—no happiness must he have now with his bride;
    Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, plough his field or gathering his
    grain;
    So fierce you whirr and pound, you drums—so shrill you bugles blow.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Consul. In American politics, a person who having failed to secure an office from the people is given one by the Administration on condition that he leave the country.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
