Royal Military

Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or military:

“When other helpers fail and comforts flee, when the senses decay and the mind moves in a narrower and narrower circle, when the grasshopper is a burden and the postman brings no letters, and even the Royal Family is no longer quite what it was, an obituary column stands fast.”
—Sylvia Townsend Warner (1893–1978)

“Stately as a galleon, I sail across the floor,
Doing the military two-step, as in the days of yore.”
