Cross Red Crescent

Famous quotes containing the words cross, red and/or crescent:

    “There is a mountain in the distant West
    That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines
    Displays a cross of snow upon its side.
    Such is the cross I wear upon my breast
    These eighteen years, through all the changing scenes
    And seasons, changeless since the day she died.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “The curse of hell upon the sleek upstart
    That got the Captain finally on his back
    And took the red red vitals of his heart
    And made the kites to whet their beaks clack clack.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “On me your voice falls as they say love should,
    Like an enormous yes. My Crescent City
    Is where your speech alone is understood.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
