Flight Quarters

Famous quotes containing the words flight and/or quarters:

    “it pleaseth me when I see through the meadows
    The tents and pavilions set up, and great joy have I
    When I see o’er the campana knights armed and horses arrayed.

    And it pleaseth me when the scouts set in flight the folk with
    their goods;
    And it pleaseth me when I see coming together after them an host of
    armed men.”
    —Bertrans De Born (fl. 12th century)

    “He stood, and heard the steeple
    Sprinkle the quarters on the morning town.
    One, two, three, four, to market-place and people
    It tossed them down.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
