Air Lines Flight

Famous quotes containing the words air, lines and/or flight:

    “The air was clear. He seemed in ultimate peace

    Except that he had no eyes. Rigid and bright
    Upon the forehead, furred
    With a light frost, crouched an outrageous bird.”
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    “He does smile his face into more lines than is in the new map with the augmentation of the Indies.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)
