Star Spangled Banner

Famous quotes containing the words star, spangled and/or banner:

    A star was broken
    Into the centuries of the child
    Myselves grieve now, and miracles cannot atone.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Bare night is best. Bare earth is best. Bare, bare,
    Except for our own houses, huddled low
    Beneath the arches and their spangled air,
    Beneath the rhapsodies of fire and fire,
    Where the voice that is in us makes a true response....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    And before, with banner red,
    Through the blizzard snow unseen,
    All unharmed by hail of lead,
    With a step like snow so light,
    Showered in myriad pearls of snow.
    Crowned in wreath of roses white,
    Christ leads onward as they go.
    Alexander Blok (1880–1921)
