- long-winged
Meaning
Dream opens its hymn as a long-winged power (LXXXVI.1). The extended wings give its arrival a vivid mobile form before the hymn describes what it can reveal. The adjective supplies neither a precise species of bird nor a statement that every dream has a bodily winged messenger.
