Bird Base

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or base:

a bird flew by the window, a wandering bee

rippled the bronze grasses. Or will you
know who it is?”

“I am sure my bones would not rest in an English grave, or my clay mix with the earth of that country. I believe the thought would drive me mad on my death-bed could I suppose that any of my friends would be base enough to convey my carcass back to her soil. I would not even feed her worms if I could help it.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
