Russian Word

Famous quotes containing the words russian and/or word:

    Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    You have no word for soldiers to enjoy
    The feel of, as an apple, and to chew
    With masculine satisfaction. Not “good-by!”
    “Come back!”or “careful!” Look, and let him go.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
