Famous quotes containing the words soldier and/or string:
“For the soldier of time, it breathes a summer sleep,
In which his wound is good because life was.
No part of him was ever part of death.
A woman smoothes her forehead with her hand
And the soldier of time lies calm beneath that stroke.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The string quartet plays for itself,
gently, gently, sleeves and waxy bows.”
