Flak Towers

Famous quotes containing the words flak and/or towers:

    I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
    When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    Was this the face that launched a thousand ships,
    And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
    Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.—
    Her lips suck forth my soul; see where it flies!—
    Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again.
    Here will I dwell, for heaven be in these lips,
    And all is dross that is not Helena.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
