Famous quotes containing the words austrian and/or design:

    An Austrian army, awfully array’d,
    Boldly by battery besiege Belgrade;
    Cossack commanders cannonading come,
    Deal devastation’s dire destructive doom;
    Alaric Alexander Watts (1797–1864)

    What but design of darkness to appall?—
    If design govern in a thing so small.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
