American Flag

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or flag:

    ...it is decidedly an advantage to American homes that so many of the wives and mothers have served as teachers before becoming house-directors. ...
    Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

    —Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
    Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
    The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
    At the North Pole. . .
    And now what? Why, go back.

    Turn as I please, my step is to the south.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
