Bull Run Campaign

Famous quotes containing the words bull, run and/or campaign:

    I was a fire-breathing Catholic C.O.,
    and made my manic statement,
    telling off the state and president, and then
    sat waiting sentence in the bull pen
    beside a Negro boy with curlicues
    of marijuana in his hair.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    The literature of the poor, the feelings of the child, the philosophy of the street, the meaning of household life, are the topics of the time. It is a great stride. It is a sign,—is it not? of new vigor, when the extremities are made active, when currents of warm life run into the hands and the feet.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The winter is to a woman of fashion what, of yore, a campaign was to the soldiers of the Empire.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
