Famous quotes containing the words flag and/or flown:
“—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)
“And when night
Darkens the streets, then wander forth the sons
Of Belial, flown with insolence and wine.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
