Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or flag:

For the lime-tree is in blossom
And one small flower has dropped upon my bosom.”

“Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
