Famous quotes containing the words lion and/or air:
“Roused by the lash of his own stubborn tail
Our lion now will foreign foes assail.”

“Then, that no region of the universe
Should remain void of life, the floor of heaven
Was peopled with the stars and godlike forms,
The seas became the abode of glittering fish.
Earth took the beasts and mobile air the birds.
A holier animal was wanting.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
