North Wing

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or wing:

“The Anglo-Saxon hive have extirpated Paganism from the greater part of the North American continent; but with it they have likewise extirpated the greater portion of the Red race. Civilization is gradually sweeping from the earth the lingering vestiges of Paganism, and at the same time the shrinking forms of its unhappy worshippers.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth,
Stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year!”
