Byzantine Left Wing

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or wing:

    “Hoping that, when the devil days of my hurt
    Drag out to their last dregs and I resume
    On such legs as are left me, in such heart
    As I can manage, remember to go home,
    My taste will not have turned insensitive
    To honey and bread old purity could love.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “As if her velvet helmet high
    Did turret rationality.
    She fans her wing up to the winde
    As if her Pettycoate were lin’de
    With reasons fleece, and hoises saile
    And humming flies in thankfull gaile”
    —Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
