Black Sparrow

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sparrow:

    O my black soul! Now thou art summoned
    By sickness, death’s herald, and champion;
    Thou art like a pilgrim, which abroad hath done
    Treason,
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    One sparrow is worth a thousand gulls,
    When it sings. The gull sits on chimney-tops.
    He mocks the guinea, challenges
    The crow, inciting various modes.
    The sparrow requites one, without intent.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
