What is to support? It is merely a figure of speech.

Another interesting apparent contradiction is 'the bird is on the wing' from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. The wing is obviously on the bird, but this is a delicious way of saying that tempus is fugiting.
Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring
The Winter Garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To fly---and Lo! the Bird is on the Wing.
