Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or eclipsed:

And the bugles and the drums give you music,
And my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans,
My heart gives you love.”

“The apparent rulers of the English nation are like the imposing personages of a splendid procession: it is by them the mob are influenced; it is they whom the spectators cheer. The real rulers are secreted in second-rate carriages; no one cares for them or asks after them, but they are obeyed implicitly and unconsciously by reason of the splendour of those who eclipsed and preceded them.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
