Famous quotes containing the words strike, systems and/or wing:

    “if thou slip thy troth and do not come at all.

    That rather had to die in troth than live forsaken so.”

    And thou, O Lord, art more than they.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “Dreamer of dreams, born out of my due time,
    Why should I strive to set the crooked straight?

    Beats with light wing against the ivory gate,”
