Famous quotes containing the words air and/or brakes:
“Oh none too soon through the air white and dry
Will the clear announcers voice
Beat like a dove, and you and I
From the hearts anarch and responsible town
Return by subway-mouth to life again,
Bearing the morning papers,”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
“What blazed ahead of you? A faked road block?
The red lamp swung, the sudden brakes and stalling
Engine, voices, heads hooded and the cold-nosed gun?”
—Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
