Famous quotes containing the word wing:

    the embattled flaming multitude
    Who rise, wing above wing, flame above flame,
    And, like a storm, cry the Ineffable Name,
    And with the clashing of their sword-blades make
    A rapturous music, till the morning break....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
