Launched Air Strikes

Famous quotes containing the words launched, air and/or strikes:

    It was a very primitive kind of harbor, where boats were drawn up amid the stumps,—such a one, methought, as the Argo might have been launched in.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    As in hoary winter’s night stood shivering in the snow,
    Surprised I was with sudden heat which made my heart to glow;
    And lifting up a fearful eye to view what fire was near,
    A pretty Babe all burning bright did in the air appear;
    Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)

    Kassandra shakes out her hair
    Its gold clasped
    With half-opened laurel-shoots
    When the god strikes her
    With his breath.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
