Persian Gulf Deployment

Famous quotes containing the words persian and/or gulf:

“Come, give thy soul a loose, and taste the pleasures of the poor.
Sometimes ‘tis grateful for the rich to try
A short vicissitude, and fit of poverty:
A savory dish, a homely treat,
Where all is plain, where all is neat,
Without the stately spacious room,
The Persian carpet, or the Tyrian loom,
Clear up the cloudy foreheads of the great.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)

“His father watched him across the gulf of years and pathos which always must divide a father from his son.”
—J.P. (John Phillips)
