Wing Bones

Famous quotes containing the words wing and/or bones:

“But he her fears to cease
Sent down the meek-eyed Peace;
She, crowned with olive green, came softly sliding
Down through the turning sphere,
His ready harbinger,
With turtle wing the amorous clouds dividing,
And waving wide her myrtle wand,
She strikes a universal peace through sea and land.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“But the bones didn’t try
The door; they halted helpless on the landing,
Waiting for things to happen in their favor.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
