Air Flight

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or flight:

    Nor sequent centuries could hit
    Orbit and sum of SHAKSPEARE’s wit.
    The men who lived with him became
    Poets, for the air was fame.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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)
