Famous quotes containing the words air and/or wing:

    Only if loves fire with the breath
    Of life be kindled, I doubt,
    With our last air ‘twill be breath’d out,
    And quenched with the cold of death.
    Edward Herbert (1583–1648)

    Dreamer of dreams, born out of my due time,
    Why should I strive to set the crooked straight?
    Let it suffice me that my murmuring rhyme
    Beats with light wing against the ivory gate,
    William Morris (1834–1896)
