Red Scare/second Red Scare 1947%e2%80%931957

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or scare:

    It might become a wheel spoked red and white
    In alternate stripes converging at a point
    Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
    Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
    Through weltering illuminations, humps
    Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Nor shall you scare us with talk of the
    death of the race.
    How should we dream of this place without us?—
    The sun mere fire, the leaves untroubled about us,
    A stone look on the stone’s face?
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
