Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or isolates:
“The skreak and skritter of evening gone
And grackles gone and sorrows of the sun,
The sorrows of sun, too, gone . . . the moon and moon,
The yellow moon of words about the nightingale
In measureless measures, not a bird for me....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates us.”
