Tail Wind

Famous quotes containing the words tail and/or wind:

    “Dizzily down the abyss he wheels—
    So fell Darius. Upon his crown,
    In the midst of the barn-yard he came down,
    In a wonderful whirl of tangled strings,
    Broken braces and broken springs,
    Broken tail and broken wings,”
    —John Townsend Trowbridge (1827–1916)

    “A wind has started a little whirlpool
    of sand where the carpet ought to be,
    and shells lie
    by the preposterous feet
    of that woman who frets me, annihilates me,
    O she will kill me yet.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
