Clipped Birds

Famous quotes containing the words clipped and/or birds:

    Who clipped the lion’s wings
    And flea’d his rump and pared his claws?
    Thought Burbank, meditating on
    Time’s ruins, and the seven laws.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The kiss of the sun for pardon,
    The song of the birds for mirth,—
    One is nearer God’s heart in a garden
    Than anywhere else on earth.
    Dorothy Frances Gurney (1858–1932)
