Staff General

Famous quotes containing the words staff and/or general:

    For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
    For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
    For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
    For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
    For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
    For the next a bier to fetch them away.
    Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)

    What use Milton, a silly story
    Of our lost general parents,
    eaters of fruit?
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
