Bang Commands

Famous quotes containing the words bang and/or commands:

    Don different from those regal Dons!

    Who shout and bang and roar and brawl
    The Absolute across the hall,

    How often we read that the enemy occupied a position which commanded the old, and so the fort was evacuated! Have not the school-house and the printing-press occupied a position which commands such a fort as this?
