Longer Wing

Famous quotes containing the words longer and/or wing:

“There is grey in your hair.
Young men no longer suddenly catch their breath
When you are passing;
But maybe some old gaffer mutters a blessing
Because it was your prayer
Recovered him upon the bed of death.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.”
