Missile Salvo

Famous quotes containing the words missile and/or salvo:

“... the truth is the hardest missile one can be pelted with.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

“Old heavens, you used to tweak above us,
Standing like rain whenever a salvo . . . Old heavens,
You lying there above the old, but not ruined, fort,
Can you hear, there, what I am saying?
For it is you I am parodying,
Your invisible denials.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
