Bird Base

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or base:

    his head
    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?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    They must to keep their certainty accuse
    All that are different of a base intent;
    Pull down established honour; hawk for news
    Whatever their loose phantasy invent
    And murmur it with bated breath....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
