Flapping Wing

Famous quotes containing the words flapping and/or wing:

    I was awakened at midnight by some heavy, low-flying bird, probably a loon, flapping by close over my head, along the shore. So, turning the other side of my half-clad body to the fire, I sought slumber again.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth,
    Stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year!
