Pale Wing Patch

Famous quotes containing the words pale, wing and/or patch:

    “Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
    And thus the native hue of resolution
    Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
    And enterprises of great pith and moment
    With this regard their currents turn awry,
    And lose the name of action.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    “Whatever patch of limb
    he gazes on
    with unblinking eyes,
    I cover up
    but I want him to see it all anyway.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
