Famous quotes containing the words returning and/or officer:

    The flowers anew, returning seasons bring!
    But beauty faded has no second spring.
    Ambrose Philips (1674–1749)

    There was something so free and self-contained about him, something in the young fellow’s movements, that made that officer aware of him. And this irritated the Prussian. He did not choose to be touched into life by his servant.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
