Launched Strikes

Famous quotes containing the words launched and/or strikes:

“It grazes the horizons, launched above

Mortality—ascending emerald-bright,
A fountain at salute, a crown in view—”

“Pan’s Syrinx was a girl indeed,
Though now she’s turned into a reed;
From that dear reed Pan’s pipe does come,
A pipe that strikes Apollo dumb;
Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can
So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;”
—John Lyly (1553–1606)
