“So rapid is the flight of dreams upon the wings of imagination.”

“There are not wings of dreams that have not previously dealt with the flight of black thoughts.”

“As birds' wings beat the solid air without which none could fly so words freed by the imagination affirm reality by their flight.”

“I dream of flight, not to be as the angels are, but to rise above the smallness of it all. The smallnesss that I am. Against the daily death the iconography of wings.”

“The merrel also knew its wing had not healed. But I could reach a great height once more before it failed me, it said. And from there I would fold my wings and plummet to the earth as if a hare or a fawn had caught my eye; but it would be myself I stooped toward. It would be a good flight and a good death. And so I eat their dead things cut up on a pole, dreaming of my last flight.”

“Friendship is just love that has yet to sprout wings and take flight.”
