Airy

Famous quotes containing the word airy:

    We are little airy creatures,
    All of different voice and features:
    One of us in glass is set,
    One of us you’ll find in jet,
    T’other you may see in tin,
    And the fourth a box within;
    If the fifth you should pursue,
    It can never fly from you.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    But I hate things all fiction ... there should always be some foundation of fact for the most airy fabric—and pure invention is but the talent of a liar.
    GGeorge Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

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