Flight Attendant Call

Famous quotes containing the words flight, attendant and/or call:

    No Raven’s wing can stretch the flight so far
    As the torn bandrols of Napoleon’s war.
    Choose then your climate, fix your best abode,
    He’ll make you deserts and he’ll bring you blood.
    How could you fear a dearth? have not mankind,
    Tho slain by millions, millions left behind?
    Has not conscription still the power to weild
    Her annual faulchion o’er the human field?
    A faithful harvester!
    Joel Barlow (1754–1812)

    Soon, with a noise like tambourines,
    Came her attendant Byzantines.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    It is very strange, and very melancholy, that the paucity of human pleasures should persuade us ever to call hunting one of them.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
