Famous quotes containing the words air and/or wing:
“It is true that the rivers went nosing like swine,
Tugging at banks, until they seemed
Bland belly-sounds in somnolent troughs,
That the air was heavy with the breath of these swine,
The breath of turgid summer, and
Heavy with thunders rattapallax....”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquitos wing that falls on the rails.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
