Famous quotes containing the words flag and/or days:

    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)

    The seventh day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Seven swans a-swimming.
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 34–36)
