Uhlan Regiment Charged

Famous quotes containing the words regiment and/or charged:

“Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?”
—William Morris (1834–1896)

“Luna presence,
foredoomed, already dying,
it charged the room
with plangency

older than human
cries,”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
