Famous quotes containing the word birds:

    “The birds their quire apply; airs, vernal airs,
    Breathing the smell of field and grove, attune
    The trembling leaves, while universal Pan,
    Knit with the Graces and the Hours in dance,
    Led on th’ eternal Spring.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “To warm their little Loves the Birds complain:”
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    “In a herber green, asleep where I lay,
    The birds sang sweet in the mids of the day;
    I dreamed fast of mirth and play.
    In youth is pleasure, in youth is pleasure.”
    —Robert Wever (fl. C. 1550)
