Famous quotes containing the words air and/or wing:
“It so happened that, a few weeks later, “Old Ernie” [Ernest Hemingway] himself was using my room in New York as a hide-out from literary columnists and reporters during one of his rare stopover visits between Africa and Key West.

—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“the embattled flaming multitude

—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
