Airy

Famous quotes containing the word airy:

“My aspens dear, whose airy cages quelled,
Quelled or quenched in leaves the leaping sun,
All felled, felled, are all felled;
Of a fresh and following folded rank
Not spared, not one
That dandled a sandalled
Shadow that swam or sank
On meadow and river and wind-wandering weed-winding bank.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

“Up the airy mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren’t go a-hunting
For fear of little men.”
—William Allingham (1824–1889)

“With all thy dazzling other ones,
In airy dalliance,
Precipitate in love....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
