Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or troops:
“Fair tresses man’s imperial race ensnare,
And beauty draws us with a single hair.”

“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)
