Side Wings

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or wings:

    Every burned book or house enlightens the world; every suppressed or expunged word reverberates through the earth from side to side.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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)
