Leaving Air

Famous quotes containing the words leaving and/or air:

“As words go crying after themselves, leaving the dream
Upended in a puddle somewhere
As though “dead” were just another adjective.”

Who wore at their hearts the fire’s centre.
Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun,
And left the vivid air signed with their honour.”
