Wing Base

Famous quotes containing the words wing and/or base:

“I could replace
God for awhile, that old ring of candles,
that owl’s wing brushing the dew
off my grass hair.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
To smother up his beauty from the world,
That when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wondered at
By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
Of vapors that did seem to strangle him”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
