is the only air worth breathing.
-Edith Wharton
Air is the very substance of our freedom,
the substance of superhuman joy....
aerial joy is freedom.

Do you recognize me, air, you, still full of
places that were mine?
You, who were once the smooth bark,
the curve and the leaf of my words?
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
the goddess of wind
her face smooth
as a worn coin
-John Sandbach
