Famous quotes containing the words louisiana, national and/or guard:
“I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing,
All alone stood it and the moss hung down from the branches,
Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark
green,
And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself,
But I wonder’d how it could utter joyous leaves standing alone
there without its friend near, for I knew I could not,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Faster, faster with no loss of ritual
Stiff minions without banners, a steady guard ...”
