Famous quotes containing the words flag and/or days:

    —Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
    Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
    The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
    At the North Pole. . .
    And now what? Why, go back.

    Turn as I please, my step is to the south.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    There are days when the great are near us, when there is no frown on their brow, no condescension even; when they take us by the hand, and we share their thought.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
