Famous quotes containing the words post, war and/or germany:
“Fear death?—to feel the fog in my throat,
The mist in my face,
When the snows begin, and the blasts denote

The power of the night, the press of the storm,
The post of the foe;
Where he stands, the Arch Fear in a visible form,
Yet the strong man must go:”
