Hawk Battle Group

Famous quotes containing the words hawk, battle and/or group:

    ““What tumbling cloud did you cleave,
    Yellow-eyed hawk of the mind,
    Last evening? that I, who had sat

    Should give to my friend
    A pretence of wit.””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Up from the South at break of day,
    Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
    The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
    Like a herald in haste, to the chieftain’s door,
    The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar,
    Telling the battle was on once more,
    And Sheridan twenty miles away.”
    —Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–1872)

    “A little group of wilful men reflecting no opinion but their own have rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible.”
