Famous quotes containing the words world and/or flight:
“I did not live until this time
Crownd my felicity,
When I could say without a crime,
I am not thine, but Thee.
This carcase breathd, and walkt, and slept,
So that the World believd
There was a soul the motions kept;
But they were all deceivd.”
—Katherine Philips (16311664)
“Its shrill scream seems yet to linger in its throat, and the roar of the sea in its wings. There is the tyranny of Jove in its claws, and his wrath in the erectile feathers of the head and neck. It reminds me of the Argonautic expedition, and would inspire the dullest to take flight over Parnassus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
