Post Operative

Famous quotes containing the words post and/or operative:

“I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs,
Those undreamt accidents that have made me
Seeing that Fame has perished this long while,
Being but a part of ancient ceremony
Notorious, till all my priceless things
Are but a post the passing dogs defile.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“I think the fall from the farmer to the operative as great and memorable as that from the man to the farmer.”
