Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or air:

“All night I’ve held your hand,
as if you had

its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye—
and dragged me home alive. . . .”

“The evergreen woods had a decidedly sweet and bracing fragrance; the air was a sort of diet-drink, and we walked on buoyantly in Indian file, stretching our legs.”
