Famous quotes containing the word wings:

    I tell you solemnly
    That I was sorry to have disappointed him. To be eaten by that beak and become part of him, to share those wings and those eyes—
    What a sublime end of one’s body, what an enskyment; what a life
    after death.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
