Black Flags

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or flags:

“I could see the thing
with its black head
but there wasn’t a tear left
and the scar of my wound
was hard.”

Rifles grow sharper on the sight.
There is a rumble of autumnal marching,
From which no soft sleeve relieves us.
Fate is the present desperado.”
