Wing Sweep

Famous quotes containing the words wing and/or sweep:

“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)

“Generalizations, like brooms, ought not to stand in a corner forever; they ought to sweep as a matter of course.”
