Famous quotes containing the words red, rock and/or hare:

    “Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
    Eagle with crest of red and gold,
    These men were born to drill and die.
    Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
    Make plain to them the excellence of killing
    And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
    —Stephen Crane (1871–1900)

    “There is no Holy One like the LORD, no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 2:2.

    “The hare grows old as she plays in the sun
    And gazes around her with eyes of brightness;
    Before the swift things that she dreamed of were done
    She limps along in an aged whiteness....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
