Thompson Flew

Famous quotes containing the words thompson and/or flew:

    She went her unremembering way,
    She went and left in me
    The pang of all the partings gone,
    And partings yet to be.
    —Francis Thompson (1859–1907)

    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)
