Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or flag:

    “Is Eden out of time and out of space?
    And do you gather about us when pale light
    Shining on water and fallen among leaves,
    And winds blowing from flowers, and whirr of feathers
    And the green quiet, have uplifted the heart?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Up rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
    Bowed with her fourscore years and ten;

    Bravest of all in Frederick town,
    She took up the flag the men hauled down;”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
