Red Hat Acquired

Famous quotes containing the words red, hat and/or acquired:

    The remnant of Indians thereabout—all but exterminated in their recent and final war with regular white troops, a war waged by the Red Men for their native soil and natural rights—had been coerced into the occupancy of wilds not far beyond the Mississippi.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Walk in this faithless grass with studious tread,
    Lest mice, weasels, germane beasts, too soon
    The tall hat and eyes, the fierce feet, for dead
    Descry, and fix you prone in their revelling moon.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The actor can be compared to the soldier. The former dazzled by his triumphs, sighs continually for the struggles of stage- life; the latter filled with the glory he has acquired on the battlefield, cannot resign himself to peace.
    Adelaide Ristori (1822–1906)
