Red Stick War

Famous quotes containing the words red, stick and/or war:

    “To-night the winds begin to rise
    And roar from yonder dropping day:
    The last red leaf is whirl’d away,
    The rooks are blown about the skies;

    The forest crack’d, the waters curl’d,
    The cattle huddled on the lea;”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “I get a little Verlaine
    for Patsy with drawings by Bonnard although I do
    think of Hesiod, trans. Richmond Lattimore or
    Brendan Behan’s new play or Le Balcon or Les Negres
    of Genet, but I don’t, I stick with Verlaine
    after practically going to sleep with quandariness”
    —Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)

    “Tanks. In any normal war they’re a beautiful sight, on your side.”
