Armored Soldiers

Famous quotes containing the words armored and/or soldiers:

“O mud
For watermelons gutted to the crust,
Mud for the mole-tide harbor, mud for mouse,
Mud for the armored Diesel fishing tubs that thud
A year and a day to wind and tide; the dust
Is on this skipping heart that shakes my house,”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

“Better to die, or not to have been born,
than hear that plaining, piteous convict wail
about these beautiful dark eyebrowed women.
It’s soldiers who sing these days. O Lord God.”
—Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941)
