Launched Air Strikes

Famous quotes containing the words launched, air and/or strikes:

    It grazes the horizons, launched above

    Mortality—ascending emerald-bright,
    A fountain at salute, a crown in view—
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    No jutty, frieze,
    Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird
    Hath made his pendant bed and procreant cradle;
    Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed
    The air is delicate.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A man of sense, though born without wit, often lives to have wit. His memory treasures up ideas and reflections; he compares them with new occurrences, and strikes out new lights from the collision. The consequence is sometimes bons mots, and sometimes apothegms.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
