Quotations for wing

Oh, God! it is a fearful thing
To see the human soul take wing
In any shape, in any mood! [ Byron ]

The insect-youth are on the wing,
Eager to taste the honied spring,
And float amid the liquid noon! [ Gray ]

In days of yore, the poet's pen
From wing of bird was plundered.
Perhaps of goose, but now and then,
From Jove's own eagle sundered.
But now, metallic pens disclose
Alone the poet's numbers;
In iron inspiration glows,
Or with the poet slumbers. [ John Quincy Adams ]

The wild bee reels from bough to bough
With his furry coat and his gauzy wing.
Now in a lily cup, and now
Setting a jacinth bell a-swing.
In his wandering. [ Oscar Wilde ]

With what a heavy and retarding weight
Does expectation load the wing of time. [ Mason ]

Hope springs exulting on triumphant wing. [ Burns ]

Affliction is but the shadow of God's wing. [ George Macdonald ]

Stillest streams
Oft water greenest meadows; and the bird
That flutters least is longest on the wing. [ William Cowper ]

Time, as he passes us, has a dove's wing,
Untoiled, and swift, and of a silken sound. [ Cowper ]

And over the past oblivion stretch her wing. [ Homer ]

Morn on the mountain, like a summer bird.
Lifts up her purple wing, and in the vales
The gentle wind, a sweet and passionate wooer,
Kisses the blushing leaf. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]

Oh, the heart is a free and a fetterless thing--
A wave of the ocean, a bird on the wing. [ J. Pardoe ]

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. [ William Shakespeare, Midsummer Night's Dream, Act I. Sc.1 ]

The best shelter for a girl is her mother's wing.

Whither away, Bluebird, Whither away?
The blast is chill, yet in the upper sky,
Thou still canst find the color of thy wing.
The hue of May.
Warbler, why speed thy southern flight? ah, why,
Thou too, whose song first told us of the Spring?
Whither away? [ E. C. Stedman ]

Now began
Night with her sullen wing to double-shade
The desert; fowls in their clay nests were couched.
And now wild beasts came forth, the woods to roam. [ Milton ]

The bird that flutters least is longest on the wing. [ Cowper ]

Look on the bee upon the wing among flowers;
How brave, how bright his life! then mark him hiv'd,
Cramp'd, cringing in his self-built, social cell,
Thus it is in the world-hive; most where men
Lie deep in cities as in drifts. [ Bailey ]

He that gives thee a capon, give him the leg and the wing. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Her luxuriant hair. It was like the sweep of a swift wing in visions! [ Willis ]

Ignorance is the curse of God, knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven. [ William Shakespeare ]

Time never bears such moments on his wing as when he flies too swiftly to be marked. [ Joanna Baillie ]

Fowls, by winter forced, forsake the floods, and wing their hasty flight to happier lands. [ Dryden ]

Love without esteem can not reach far, nor rise very high: it is an angel with but one wing. [ A. Dumas fils ]

He who loves, as well as he who dies, needs no other wing by which to soar from earth to heaven. [ Michael Angelo ]

The feather whence the pen was shaped that traced the lives of these good men, dropped from an angel's wing. [ Wordsworth ]

It seems strange that a butterfly's wing should be woven up so thin and gauzy in the monstrous loom of nature, and be so delicately tipped with fire from such a gross hand, and rainbowed all over in such a storm of thunderous elements. The marvel is that such great forces do such nice work. [ Theodore Parker ]

The king is but a man, as I am; the violet smells to him as it doth to me; the element shows to him as it doth to me; all his senses have but human conditions; his ceremonies laid by, in his nakedness he appears but a man; and though his affections are higher mounted than ours, yet, when they stoop, they stoop with the like wing. [ William Shakespeare ]

What we call genius may, perhaps, in more strict propriety, be described as the spirit of discovery. Genius is the very eye of intellect and the wing of thought. It is always in advance of its time. It is the pioneer for the generation which it precedes. For this reason it is called a seer, and hence its songs have been prophecies. [ Simms ]
