Final Strikes

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or strikes:

    “The train rounds, bending to a scream,
    Taking the final level for the dive
    Under the river—”

    “But he her fears to cease
    Sent down the meek-eyed Peace;
    She, crowned with olive green, came softly sliding
    Down through the turning sphere,
    His ready harbinger,
    With turtle wing the amorous clouds dividing,
    And waving wide her myrtle wand,
    She strikes a universal peace through sea and land.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
