Bird Base

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or base:

    I’ll be a new bird with the head of an ass,
    Two pigs’ feet, two men’s feet, and two of a hen
    Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)

    And all the popular statesmen say
    That purity built up the State
    And after kept it from decay;
    Admonish us to cling to that
    And let all base ambition be,
    For intellect would make us proud....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
