Black Sparrow

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sparrow:

    Long sibilant-muscled trees
    Were lifting up, the black poplars.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    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)
