Lightly Wounded

Famous quotes containing the words lightly and/or wounded:

“Give her strewings, but not stir
The earth that lightly covers her.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

“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)
