Quarter Troops

Famous quotes containing the words quarter and/or troops:

“I have started to say
“A quarter of a century”
Or “thirty years back”
About my own life.”

“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)
