Famous quotes containing the words sky and/or pilot:

    “Two wooden tubs of blue hydrangeas stand at the foot of the stone steps.
    The sky is a blue gum streaked with rose. The trees are black.
    The grackles crack their throats of bone in the smooth air.

    Pardie! Summer is like a fat beast, sleepy in mildew....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
