Famous quotes containing the words drunken and/or soldier:
“Will lovely, lively, virginal today
Shatter for us with a wing’s drunken blow
This hard, forgotten lake haunted in snow
By the sheer ice of flocks not flown away!”

And used to war’s alarms;
But a cannon-ball took off his legs,
So he laid down his arms.”
