Dragon Boat Races

Famous quotes containing the words dragon, boat and/or races:

    And then at last our bliss
    Full and perfect is,
    But now begins; for from this happy day
    The old Dragon underground,
    In straiter limits bound,
    Not half so far casts his usurped sway,
    And, wroth to see his kingdom fail,
    Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    But now, our boat climbs hesitates drops
    climbs hesitates crawls back
    climbs hesitates
    O be swift
    we have always known you wanted us.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    This Administration has declared unconditional war on poverty and I have come here this morning to ask all of you to enlist as volunteers. Members of all parties are welcome to our tent. Members of all races ought to be there. Members of all religions should come and help us now to strike the hammer of truth against the anvil of public opinion again and again until the ears of this Nation are open, until the hearts of this Nation are touched, and until the conscience of America is awakened.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
