Meeting Flag

Famous quotes containing the words meeting and/or flag:

    “I would that there was nothing in the world
    But my beloved that night and day had perished,
    And all that is and all that is to be,
    All that is not the meeting of our lips.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “—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)
