Famous quotes containing the words wing and/or air:
“How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth,
Stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year!”

“Up from the South at break of day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
Like a herald in haste, to the chieftain’s door,
The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.”
—Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–1872)
