Rodman Guns

Famous quotes containing the words rodman and/or guns:

    When Freedom, from her mountain height,
    Unfurled her standard to the air,
    She tore the azure robe of night,
    And set the stars of glory there;
    —Joseph Rodman Drake (1795–1820)

    Again the guns disturbed the hour,
    Roaring their readiness to avenge,
    As far inland a Stourton Tower,
    And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
