Long Flights

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or flights:

    O Russia! O my wife! Our long and narrow Road lies clear though distressed.
    Our road with an old Tatar freedom’s arrow Has deeply pierced our breast.
    Alexander Blok (1880–1921)

    Old man, it’s four flights up and for what?
    Your room is hardly any bigger than your bed.
    Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
    stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
