Bird Creature

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or creature:

    For sounds in winter nights, and often in winter days, I heard the forlorn but melodious note of a hooting owl indefinitely far; such a sound as the frozen earth would yield if struck with a suitable plectrum, the very lingua vernacula of Walden Wood, and quite familiar to me at last, though I never saw the bird while it was making it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The werewolf is neither man nor wolf, but a satanic creature with the worst qualities of both.
    John Colton (1886–1946)
