Black Sparrow

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sparrow:

    I could see the thing
    with its black head
    but there wasn’t a tear left
    and the scar of my wound
    was hard.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    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)
