Famous quotes containing the word wings:

    butter fat goosegirls, bounced in a gambo bed,
    Their breasts full of honey, under their gander king
    Trounced by his wings in the hissing shippen, long dead
    And gone that barley dark where their clogs danced in the spring....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
