1 Quotes by Stephen Crane - The Red Badget of Courage

  • Author Stephen Crane - The Red Badget of Courage
  • Quote

    The ranks opened covertly to avoid the corpse. The invulnerable dead man forced a way for himself. The youth looked keenly at the ashen face. The wind raised the tawny beard. It moved as if a hand were stroking it. He vaguely desired to walk around and around the body and stare; the impulse of the living to try to read in dead eyes the answer to the Question.
