Famous quotes containing the words canary and/or islands:

    “Cruelty is a mystery, and the waste of pain. But if we describe a word to compass these things, a world that is a long, brute game, then we bump against another mystery: the inrush of power and delight, the canary that sings on the skull.”
    —Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

    “What are the islands to me
    if you are lost
    what is Naxos, Tinos, Andros,
    and Delos, the clasp
    of the white necklace?”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
