Modern Flag

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or flag:

“The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.”

“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.

Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
