Field Pole

Famous quotes containing the words field and/or pole:

“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)

“O, withered is the garland of the war,
The soldier’s pole is fallen!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
