Cossack Corps

Famous quotes containing the words cossack and/or corps:

    The Cossack eats Poland,
    Like stolen fruit;
    Her last noble is ruined,
    Her last poet mute:
    Straight, into double band
    The victors divide;
    Half for freedom strike and stand;—
    The astonished Muse finds thousands at her side.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    There was nothing to equal it in the whole history of the Corps Diplomatique.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
