Reverse Thrust

Famous quotes containing the words reverse and/or thrust:

    We came home from the ridotto so late, or rather so early, that it was not possible for me to write. Indeed we did not go ... till past eleven o’clock: but nobody does. A terrible reverse of the order of nature! We sleep with the sun, and wake with the moon.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    An image of its state;
    The wings half spread for flight,
    The breast thrust out in pride
    Whether to play, or to ride
    Those winds that clamour of approaching night.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
