Rapid Fire Guns

Famous quotes containing the words rapid, fire and/or guns:

    he dreadful darts
    With rapid glide along the leaning line;
    And, fixing in the wretch his cruel fangs
    James Thomson (1700–1748)

    Prosecutors insist they are mounting a “thorough investigation,” which sometimes means thorough and sometimes, historically, has meant long enough to let the fire burn down in an incendiary case. A thorough investigation is fine; an interminable one is disgraceful.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    Again the guns disturbed the hour,
    Roaring their readiness to avenge,
    As far inland a Stourton Tower,
    And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
