Horn Resounding

Famous quotes containing the words horn and/or resounding:

    “I wanted there should be some there next year.”
    “Of course you did. You left the rest for seed,
    And for the backwoods woodchuck. You’re the girl!
    A Ram’s Horn orchid seedpod for a woodchuck
    Sounds something like. Better than farmer’s beans
    To a discriminating appetite....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despite the fact that the American Revolution was successful—realizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regime—while the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.
    Irving Kristol (b. 1920)
