Tail Wind

Famous quotes containing the words tail and/or wind:

Is not more irritable than I.
The whipping tail is not more still
Than when I smell the enemy
Writhing in the essential blood
Or dangling from the friendly tree.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“Being a Jew is like walking in the wind or swimming: you are touched at all points and conscious everywhere.”
