Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or shot:

    “The bird would cease and be as other birds
    But that he knows in singing not to sing.
    The question that he frames in all but words
    Is what to make of a diminished thing.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “He shakes the dust from off his feet
    And shambles down the dirty street
    The last man in the town, they said,
    Who’d shot a hundred Yankees dead.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
