Famous quotes containing the words air and/or weapon:
“Lovely the woods, waters, meadows, combes, vales,
All the air things wear that build this world of Wales.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“The aim of poetry, it appears, is to fill the mind with lofty thoughts—not to give it joy, but to give it a grand and somewhat gaudy sense of virtue. The essay is a weapon against the degenerate tendencies of the age. The novel, properly conceived, is a means of uplifting the spirit; its aim is to inspire, not merely to satisfy the low curiosity of man in man.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
