Famous quotes containing the word flags:

    “Still, it is dear defiance now to carry
    Fair flags of you above my indignation,”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “The flags are natures newly found.
    Rifles grow sharper on the sight.
    There is a rumble of autumnal marching,
    From which no soft sleeve relieves us.
    Fate is the present desperado.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
