Greek Troops

Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or troops:

“The decline of a culture
Mourned by scholars who dream of the ghosts of Greek boys.”

“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)
