Syrian Missile Boats

Famous quotes containing the words syrian, missile and/or boats:

“If in that Syrian garden, ages slain,
You sleep, and know not you are dead in vain,
Nor even in dreams behold how dark and bright
Ascends in smoke and fire by day and night
The hate you died to quench and could but fan,
Sleep well and see no morning, son of man.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)

with the obliging air of retrievers,”
