Banner Troops

Famous quotes containing the words banner and/or troops:

“The broken pillar of the wing jags from the clotted shoulder,
The wing trails like a banner in defeat,”

“But, where the road runs near the stream,
Oft through the trees they catch a glance
Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
To life, to cities, and to war!”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
