Hot Air Balloons

Famous quotes containing the words hot, air and/or balloons:

    One ... aspect of the case for World War II is that while it was still a shooting affair it taught us survivors a great deal about daily living which is valuable to us now that it is, ethically at least, a question of cold weapons and hot words.
    M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)

    The air was clear. He seemed in ultimate peace

    Except that he had no eyes. Rigid and bright
    Upon the forehead, furred
    With a light frost, crouched an outrageous bird.
    Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    Canaries in the morning, orchestras
    In the afternoon, balloons at night. That is
    A difference, at least from nightingales,
    Jehovah and the great sea-worm.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
