Land Force Command

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

    For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield; but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild animals may eat. You shall do the same with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 23:10,11.

    The event combined with
    Beams leading up to it for the look of force adapted to the wiser
    Usages of age, but it’s both there
    And not there, like washing or sawdust in the sunlight,
    At the back of the mind, where we live now.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    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)
