Red Ensign Defaced

Famous quotes containing the words red, ensign and/or defaced:

    Red river, red river,
    Slow flow heat is silence
    No will is still as a river
    Still.

    Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
    Long has it waved on high,
    And many an eye has danced to see
    That banner in the sky;
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    I who was a house full of bowel movement,
    I who was a defaced altar,
    I who wanted to crawl toward God
    could not move nor eat bread.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
