Fixed Wing

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or wing:

    “...stare into the lake of sunset as it runs
    boiling, over the west past all control
    rolling and swamps the heartbeat and repeats
    sea beyond sea after unbearable suns;
    think: poems fixed this landscape: Blake, Donne, Keats.”
    —Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    “Dreamer of dreams, born out of my due time,
    Why should I strive to set the crooked straight?
    Let it suffice me that my murmuring rhyme
    Beats with light wing against the ivory gate,”
    —William Morris (1834–1896)
