Flag Waved

Famous quotes containing the words flag and/or waved:

“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.

Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

“I sat in silent musing—
The soft wind waved my hair;
It told me heaven was glorious
And sleeping earth was fair.”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
