Bird Base

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or base:

    All your lovely words are spoken.
    Once the ivory box is broken,
    Beats the golden bird no more.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    I think it is worse to be poor in mind than in purse, to be stunted and belittled in soul, made a coward, made a liar, made mean and slavish, accustomed to fawn and prevaricate, and “manage” by base arts a husband or a father,—I think this is worse than to be kicked with hobnailed shoes.
    Frances Power Cobbe (1822–1904)
