Bird Creature

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or creature:

    What bird so sings, yet so does wail?
    O, ‘tis the ravished nightingale!
    “Jug, jug, jug, jug, tereu,” she cries,
    And still her woes at midnight rise.
    Brave prick-song! who is’t now we hear?
    None but the lark so shrill and clear;
    John Lyly (1553–1606)

    God is indeed dead.
    He died of self-horror
    when He saw the creature He had made
    in His own image.
    Irving Layton (b. 1912)
