Fighting Falcon

Famous quotes containing the words fighting and/or falcon:

    “Our frigate takes fire,
    The other asks if we demand quarter?
    If our colors are struck and the fighting done?
    Now I laugh content for I hear the voice of my little captain,
    We have not struck, he composedly cries, we have just begun our part of the fighting.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
