Snare Drums

Famous quotes containing the words snare and/or drums:

    It is a snare for one to say rashly, “It is holy,” and begin to reflect only after making a vow.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 20:25.

    It was soldiers went marching over the rocks
    And still the birds came, came in watery flocks,
    Because it was spring and the birds had to come.
    No doubt that soldiers had to be marching
    And that drums had to be rolling, rolling, rolling.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
