Republican Troops

Famous quotes containing the words republican and/or troops:

“We all have the republican spirit in our veins, like syphilis in our bones. We are democratized and venerealized.”

“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)
