William Carlos Williams Quotes About Flight

Quotes about: Flight

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

  William Carlos Williams

  Reality, Air, Birds Wings

  William Carlos Williams (1971). “Imaginations”, p.150, New Directions Publishing

• Old age is
  a flight of small
  cheeping birds
  skimming
  bare trees
  above a snow glaze.
  Gaining and failing
  they are buffeted
  by a dark wind -
  But what?
  On harsh weedstalks
  the flock has rested -
  the snow
  is covered
  with broken
  seed husks
  and the wind tempered
  with a shrill
  piping of plenty.

  William Carlos Williams

  "To Awaken an Old Lady". The Dial, August 1920.

• Old age is
  a flight of small
  cheeping birds
  skimming
  bare trees
  above a snow glaze.

  William Carlos Williams
