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,”

“I am sure my bones would not rest in an English grave, or my clay mix with the earth of that country. I believe the thought would drive me mad on my death-bed could I suppose that any of my friends would be base enough to convey my carcass back to her soil. I would not even feed her worms if I could help it.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
