Star Spangled War

Famous quotes containing the words star, spangled and/or war:

    I have drunk ale from the Country of the Young
    And weep because I know all things now:
    I have been a hazel-tree, and they hung
    The Pilot Star and the Crooked Plough
    Among my leaves in times out of mind....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The constellated sounds
    ran sprinkling on earth’s floor
    As the dark vault above
    with stars was spangled o’er.
    Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    The war is utter damn nonsense—a vast cancer fed by lies and self seeking [sic] malignity on the part of those who don’t do the fighting.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
