Air Strikes

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or strikes:

    Personally I have no bone to pick with graveyards, I take the air there willingly, perhaps more willingly than elsewhere, when take the air I must.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    Nothing is so beautiful as spring—
    When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
    Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
    Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
    The ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
