Land Force Command

Famous quotes containing the words land, force and/or command:

    “For Nature ever faithful is
    To such as trust her faithfulness.
    When the forest shall mislead me,
    When the night and morning lie,
    When the sea and land refuse to feed me,
    ‘Twill be time enough to die.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.”
    —Greil Marcus (b. 1945)

    “Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
    In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
    An ancestor was rector there
    Long years ago, a church stands near,
    By the road an ancient cross.
    No marble, no conventional phrase;
    On limestone quarried near the spot
    By his command these words are cut:
    Cast a cold eye
    On life, on death.
    Horseman pass by!”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
