West Pennant Hills

Famous quotes containing the words west, pennant and/or hills:

“It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.”
—For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

“They are preparing to begin again:
Problems, new pennant up the flagpole
In a predicated romance.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“All the hills and vales along
Earth is bursting into song,
And the singers are the chaps
Who are going to die perhaps.”
—Charles Hamilton Sorley (1895–1915)
