Rides Angels Flight

Famous quotes containing the words rides, angels and/or flight:

    The lariat snaps; the cowboy rolls
    His pack, and mounts and rides away.
    Back to the land the cowboy goes.

    But as these angels, the only halted ones
    among the many who passed and repassed,
    trod air as swimmers tread water, each gazing
    on the angelic wings of the other,
    the intelligence proper to great angels flew into their wings,
    the intelligence called intellectual love....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    What a cunning mixture of sentiment, pity, tenderness, irony surrounds adolescence, what knowing watchfulness! Young birds on their first flight are hardly so hovered around.
    Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
