Wings

Famous quotes containing the word wings:

    The very dogs were all asleep, and the flies, drunk with moist sugar in the grocer’s shop, forgot their wings and briskness, and baked to death in dusty corners of the window.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    The seagull’s wings shall dip and pivot him,
    Shedding white rings of tumult, building high
    Over the chained bay waters Liberty—
    Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly
    away, and be at rest.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalm LV (l. LV, 6)
