Naval Undersea Warfare

Famous quotes containing the words naval, undersea and/or warfare:

    “The world was a huge ball then, the universe a might harmony of ellipses, everything moved mysteriously, incalculable distances through the ether.
    We used to feel the awe of the distant stars upon us. All that led to was the eighty-eight naval guns, ersatz, and the night air-raids over cities. A magnificent spectacle.
    After the collapse of the socialist dream, I came to America.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “Saturday mornings we listened to Red Lantern & his undersea folk.
    At 11, Let’s Pretend/& we did/& I, the poet, still do, Thank God!”
    —Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)

    “And God would bid His warfare cease,
    Saying all things were well;
    And softly make a rosy peace,
    A peace of Heaven with Hell.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
