Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or officers:

    Like fallen apples, they will lose
    Their sweetness at the bruise,
    And then decay.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    I then went to the Parade. I saw the King. It was a glorious sight.... As a loadstone moves needles, or a storm bows the lofty oaks, did Frederick the Great make the Prussian officers submissive bend as he walked majestic in the midst of them.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
