Return Flights

Famous quotes containing the words return and/or flights:

“We wished our two souls
might return like gulls
to the rock. In the end,
the water was too cold for us.”

“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)
