Post Operative

Famous quotes containing the words post and/or operative:

“Fear death?—to feel the fog in my throat,
The mist in my face,
When the snows begin, and the blasts denote
I am nearing the place,
The power of the night, the press of the storm,
The post of the foe;
Where he stands, the Arch Fear in a visible form,
Yet the strong man must go:”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)

“I think the fall from the farmer to the operative as great and memorable as that from the man to the farmer.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
