North Island Brown

Famous quotes containing the words north, island and/or brown:

    —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)

    “Our island home
    Is far beyond the wave;we will no longer roam.”
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    They killed the man I was. All that’s left is the will to hate and to destroy.
    —Karl Brown (1897–1990)
