Youth Wing Zhas

Famous quotes containing the words youth and/or wing:

“We too are ashes as we watch and hear
The psalm, the sorrow, and the simple praise
Of one whose promised thoughts of other days
Were such as ours, but now wholly destroyed,
The service record of his youth wiped out,
His dream dispersed by shot, must disappear.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

“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)
