Black Sparrow

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sparrow:

    Magnified one thousand times, the insect
    Looks farcically human; laugh if you will!
    Bald head, stage-fairy wings, blear eyes,
    A caved-in chest, hairy black mandibles,
    Long spindly thighs.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    When a sparrow sips in the river, the water doesn’t recede. Giving charity does not deplete wealth. Saint Kabir says so.
    Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
