Julian Grenfell
2 quotes
“The thundering line of battle stands, And in the air Death moans and sings; But Day shall clasp him with strong hands, And Night shall fold him in soft wings.”
Julian Grenfell (1888–1915) first seen 1915 wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
Recorded in: Into Battle", st. 11, in The Times (1915)
“I adore war. ... It is like a big picnic but without the objectivelessness of a picnic. I have never been more well or more happy. ... It just suits my stolid health and stolid nerves and barbaric disposition. The fighting-excitement vitalizes everything, every sight and action. One loves one's fellow man so much more when one is bent on killing him.”
