Hood Ornament Flying

Famous quotes containing the words hood, ornament and/or flying:

“One more Unfortunate,
Weary of breath,
Rashly importunate,
Gone to her death!

Take her up tenderly,
Lift her with care;
Fashioned so slenderly,
Young, and so fair!”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

“The world, which the Greeks called Beauty, has been made such by being gradually divested of every ornament which was not fitted to endure.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“He was last seen flying to New York.
He was handing out cards which read:
“He wears a question in his left eye.
He dislikes the police but will associate with them.
He will demand something not on the menu.
He is invisible to the eyes of beauty and culture....””
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
