Long Roll

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or roll:

“But now he snapped his eyes three times;
Then shook his lantern, saying, “He’s
‘Bout out!” and took the long way home
By road, a matter of several miles.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“There was somewhat military in his nature, not to be subdued, always manly and able, but rarely tender, as if he did not feel himself except in opposition. He wanted a fallacy to expose, a blunder to pillory, I may say required a little sense of victory, a roll of the drum, to call his powers into full exercise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
