Flags of the World, Part 06 of 12
(Iceland to Luxembourg)
Flags, Places, and Languages of the World
The primordial rag dipped in the blood of a conquered enemy and lifted high on a stick—that wordless shout of victory and dominion—is a motif repeated millions of times in human existence. Flags incarnate the overcoming of nature, of fellow humans, of self—but an overcoming through comprehension and assimilation as often as by conquest and obliteration.
