Famous quotes containing the words flight and/or august:
“Its shrill scream seems yet to linger in its throat, and the roar of the sea in its wings. There is the tyranny of Jove in its claws, and his wrath in the erectile feathers of the head and neck. It reminds me of the Argonautic expedition, and would inspire the dullest to take flight over Parnassus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If August passes
flowerless,
and the frosts come,
will I have learned to rejoice enough
in the sober wonder of
green healthy leaves?”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
