Post/places

Famous quotes containing the words post and/or places:

“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)

“Look,
when it is over he places her,
like a phone, back on the hook.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
