Modern Flag

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or flag:

“And of the other things death is a new office building filled with modern furniture,
A wise thing, but which has no purpose for us.”

“—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)
