Black Sparrow

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sparrow:

    This is the end, the redemption from Wilderness, way for the
    Wonderer, House sought for All, black handkerchief washed clean by
    weeping—page beyond Psalm—Last change of mine and Naomi—to Gods perfect Darkness—Death, stay thy phantoms!
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    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)
