Famous quotes containing the words air and/or wing:
“There is something about poverty that smells like death. Dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season and rotting around the feet; impulses smothered too long in the fetid air of underground caves. The soul lives in a sickly air. People can be slave-ships in shoes.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“The wild touch of thy dye-dusty wing!
I found that wing broken today!”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
