Bird Base

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or base:

May not lie on the breast nor his lips on the hair
Of the woman that he loves, until he dies.
O beast of the wilderness, bird of the air,
Must I endure your amorous cries?”

Your base has spread too wide,
For you to roll one stone
Down if you tried.”
