Air Force Mirage

Famous quotes containing the words air, force and/or mirage:

    “A hook shot kisses the rim and
    hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop

    and for once our gangly starting center
    boxes out his man and times his jump

    perfectly, gathering the orange leather
    from the air like a cherished possession”
    —Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)

    “The event combined with
    Beams leading up to it for the look of force adapted to the wiser
    Usages of age, but it’s both there
    And not there, like washing or sawdust in the sunlight,
    At the back of the mind, where we live now.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Whom we desired above all things to know,
    Sister of the mirage and echo.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)
