West Pennant Hills

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

“For some reason a nation feels as shy about admitting that it ever went forth to war for the sake of more wealth as a man would about admitting that he had accepted an invitation just for the sake of the food. This is one of humanity’s most profound imbecilities, as perhaps the only justification for asking one’s fellowmen to endure the horrors of war would be the knowledge that if they did not fight they would starve.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)

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

“In the hollow Lotos land to live and lie reclined
On the hills like Gods together, careless of mankind.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
