Wing Bones

Famous quotes containing the words wing and/or bones:

“The broken pillar of the wing jags from the clotted shoulder,
The wing trails like a banner in defeat,”

“There are knives that glitter like altars
In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.

There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”
—Charles Simic (b. 1938)
