Famous quotes containing the word wings:
“In the wings the tenor hungers
For the heroine’s convulsive kiss, and Faust
Moves forward, no longer young, reappearing
And reappearing for the last time. The opera
Faust would no longer need its phantom.
On the bare, sunlit stage the hungers could begin.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
