Famous quotes containing the words red, wings and/or season:

    I shall go among red faces and virile voices,
    See stylish sheep, with fine heads and well-wooled,
    And great bulls mellow to the touch,
    Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)

    Unhappy, eagle wings and bleak, chicken brain.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    Methoughts a legion of foul fiends
    Environed me, and howled in mine ears
    Such hideous cries that with the very noise
    I trembling waked, and for a season after
    Could not believe but that I was in hell,
    Such terrible impression made my dream.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
