Quotes
edit- Medals, rank, ribands, lace, embroidery, scarlet,
Are things immortal to immortal man,
As purple to the Babylonian harlot:
An uniform to boys is like a fan
To women; there is scarce a crimson varlet
But deems himself the first in Glory’s van.- Lord Byron, Don Juan, Canto 7
- Suppose him in a handsome uniform,—
A scarlet coat, black facings, a long plume,
Waving, like sails new shiver’d in a storm,
Over a cock’d hat in a crowded room,
And brilliant breeches, bright as a Cairn Gorme,
Of yellow casimire we may presume,
White stocking drawn uncurdled as new milk
O’er limbs whose symmetry set off the silk.- Lord Byron, Don Juan, Canto 9
