Famous quotes containing the words air and/or army:

    “subtle birds
    Wheel and go,leaving air in shreds
    black beaks shine in gray haze.
    Brushed by the hawk’s wing
    of vision.”
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    “Roach, foulest of creatures,
    who attacks with yellow teeth
    and an army of cousins big as shoes ...”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
