"Oh Air divine! Oh ye swift-winged Winds Ye sources of the Rivers, and ye Waves, That dimple o'er old Ocean like his smiles Mother of all oh Earth! and thou the orb, All-seeing, of the Sun, behold and witness What I, a god, from the stern gods endure. When shall my doom be o'er? Be o'er! to me The Future hides no riddle nor can wo Come unprepared!
After a time she arose, and, walking very slowly across her room, sat down by her bureau and drew a sheet of paper before her. As she did so her eyes fell for a moment on the Greek play which had fascinated her an hour ago. She found herself again murmuring some lines from Prometheus Vinctus: "O divine ether, and swift-winged winds " She interrupted herself with a petulant movement.
Follow me with your swift-winged thoughts and no harm shall come to me." "Must you go?" I laughed: * "Ka-teri-oseres, Lois." * "Wa-ka-ton-te-tsihon," she said calmly. "Wa-ka-ta-tiats-kon." Then I gave way to my increasing surprise: "Wonder-child!" I exclaimed. "When and where have you learned to understand and answer me in the tongue of the Long House?"
That Being, in whose hand is your breath, has placed you, for a few swift-winged years, on a vessel, propelled by fearful elements. In an hour you least imagine, that, which now bears you brightly onward, may burst its confines, and scatter on the wild waves the black fragments of all that is mortal. Yet fear not death; FEAR LIFE. Live as you ought; leave the rest with God.
All the monarchs seeing him stop, stood there to become spectators of the coming encounter between him and Salya. Then that foremost of men, king Salya covered Bhishma, the son of Santanu with hundreds and thousands of swift-winged shafts.

She turned a shaded lamp, so that the light might fall upon the pages of a book she was studying, and, pushing her hands through her thick hair, she began to read a passage from the splendid Prometheus Vinctus of AEschylus: "O divine ether, O swift-winged winds!"
The birds were swift-winged hawks and owls, pigeons and ring-doves; crows again became common, and the water-wagtail was tame as the Brazilian thrush, Joao de Barros: it hopped about within a few feet of us, quite ignoring the presence of Frenchmen armed with murderous guns.
The swift-winged geese were traveling much faster than the robins, and soon they were far ahead of Robert Robin and his family. "Why do they fly so fast?" asked Evelina. "They have far to go!" answered Robert Robin, "and they must hurry or they will be late in getting there!" "There is our White Spring!" shouted Mrs. Robin. "Let us stop there a while and get some new sand for our crops!"
They do not fail, however, to return to the capital bright and early in the morning. Probably a flight of twelve or fifteen miles from their regular night quarters before breakfast is of no account to these active, swift-winged creatures.
Beneath these waves of crimson lie, In rosy fetters prisoned fast, Those flitting shapes that never die, The swift-winged visions of the past. Kiss but the crystal's mystic rim, Each shadow rends its flowery chain, Springs in a bubble from its brim And walks the chambers of the brain.
