Neutral Drake

Famous quotes containing the words neutral and/or drake:

    The lonely Earth amid the balls
    That hurry through the eternal halls,
    A makeweight flying to the void,
    Supplemental asteroid,
    Or compensatory spark,
    Shoots across the neutral Dark.

    And when the cannon-mouthings loud
    Heave in wild wreaths the battle-shroud,
    —Joseph Rodman Drake (1795–1820)
