Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or specimens:
“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
“Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Just specimens is all New Hampshire has,
One each of everything as in a show-case
Which naturally she doesn’t care to sell.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
