Famous quotes containing the words wings and/or dove:
“His little throat labours with inspiration, every feather
On throat and breast and wings vibrates with the effluence Divine.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle-dove, and am still on their trail. Many are the travellers I have spoken concerning them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered to. I have met one or two who had heard the hound, and the tramp of the horse, and even seen the dove disappear behind a cloud, and they seemed as anxious to recover them as if they had lost them themselves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
