Famous quotes containing the words flight, attendant and/or call:
“Its shrill scream seems yet to linger in its throat, and the roar of the sea in its wings. There is the tyranny of Jove in its claws, and his wrath in the erectile feathers of the head and neck. It reminds me of the Argonautic expedition, and would inspire the dullest to take flight over Parnassus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Soon, with a noise like tambourines,
Came her attendant Byzantines.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“I do know of these
That therefore only are reputed wise
For saying nothing; when I am very sure
If they should speak, would almost damn those ears
Which hearing them would call their brothers fools.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
