Wings

Famous quotes containing the word wings:

“Blest paper-credit! last and best supply!
That lends corruption lighter wings to fly!”

“With sweet May dews my wings were wet,
And Phoebus fir’d my vocal rage;
He caught me in his silken net,
And shut me in his golden cage.

He loves to sit and hear me sing,
Then, laughing, sports and plays with me;
Then stretches out my golden wing,
And mocks my loss of liberty.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“Unhappy country what wings you have”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
