Famous quotes containing the words flight and/or instruments:

    “No Raven’s wing can stretch the flight so far
    As the torn bandrols of Napoleon’s war.
    Choose then your climate, fix your best abode,
    He’ll make you deserts and he’ll bring you blood.
    How could you fear a dearth? have not mankind,
    Tho slain by millions, millions left behind?
    Has not conscription still the power to weild
    Her annual faulchion o’er the human field?
    A faithful harvester!”
    —Joel Barlow (1754–1812)

    “But when to mischiefmortals bend their will,
    How soon they find fit instruments of ill!”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
