Wings

Famous quotes containing the word wings:

    An image of its state;
    The wings half spread for flight,
    The breast thrust out in pride
    Whether to play, or to ride
    Those winds that clamour of approaching night.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Death,
    you lie in my arms like a cherub,
    as heavy as bread dough.
    Your milky wings are as still as plastic.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    His little throat labours with inspiration, every feather
    On throat and breast and wings vibrates with the effluence Divine.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
