Famous quotes containing the words black and/or flag:

    This is the black sea-brute bulling through wave-wrack,
    William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)

    By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
    Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
    Here once the embattled farmers stood
    And fired the shot heard round the world.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
