Red Flag Test

Famous quotes containing the words red, flag and/or test:

    “To-night the winds begin to rise
    And roar from yonder dropping day:
    The last red leaf is whirl’d away,
    The rooks are blown about the skies;

    The forest crack’d, the waters curl’d,
    The cattle huddled on the lea;”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “Hath not the morning dawned with added light?
    And shall not evening call another star
    Out of the infinite regions of the night,
    To mark this day in Heaven? At last, we are
    A nation among nations; and the world
    Shall soon behold in many a distant port
    Another flag unfurled!”
    —Henry Timrod (1828–1867)

    “The final test of a novel will be our affection for it, as it is the test of our friends, and of anything else which we cannot define.”
