Red Scare/second Red Scare 1947-1957

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or scare:

    What blazed ahead of you? A faked road block?
    The red lamp swung, the sudden brakes and stalling
    Engine, voices, heads hooded and the cold-nosed gun?
    Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    Nor shall you scare us with talk of the
    death of the race.
    How should we dream of this place without us?—
    The sun mere fire, the leaves untroubled about us,
    A stone look on the stone’s face?
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
