Famous quotes containing the words systems and/or wing:

    Not out of those, on whom systems of education have exhausted their culture, comes the helpful giant to destroy the old or to build the new, but out of unhandselled savage nature, out of terrible Druids and Berserkirs, come at last Alfred and Shakespeare.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    the embattled flaming multitude
    Who rise, wing above wing, flame above flame,
    And, like a storm, cry the Ineffable Name,
    And with the clashing of their sword-blades make
    A rapturous music, till the morning break....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
