Air Fast

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or fast:

“It is true that the rivers went nosing like swine,
Tugging at banks, until they seemed
Bland belly-sounds in somnolent troughs,
That the air was heavy with the breath of these swine,
The breath of turgid summer, and
Heavy with thunder’s rattapallax....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“I hope to “stand firm” enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country’s cause.”
