Famous quotes containing the words air and/or volume:
“It is true that the rivers went nosing like swine,
Tugging at banks, until they seemed

That the air was heavy with the breath of these swine,
The breath of turgid summer, and
Heavy with thunders rattapallax....”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“There is a note in the front of the volume saying that no public reading ... may be given without first getting the authors permission. It ought to be made much more difficult to do than that.”
