Unknown. The Dying Airman

Famous quotes containing the words dying and/or airman:

    Being over seventy is like being engaged in a war. All our friends are going or gone and we survive amongst the dead and the dying as on a battlefield.
    Muriel Spark (b. 1918)

    ‘Take the cylinders out of my kidneys,
    The connecting-rod out of my brain,
    Take the cam-shaft from out of my backbone,
    And Assemble the engine again.’
