Wings

Famous quotes containing the word wings:

“But with some small portion of real genius and a warm imagination, an author surely may be permitted a little to expand his wings and to wander in the aerial fields of fancy, provided ... that he soar not to such dangerous heights, from whence unplumed he may fall to the ground disgraced, if not disabled from ever rising anymore.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

“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)

“The wings of Time are black and white,
Pied with morning and with night.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
