Famous quotes containing the word birds:

    “Calico Pie,
    The little Birds fly
    Down to the calico tree,
    Their wings were blue,
    And they sang “Tilly-loo!”
    Till away they flew—
    And they never came back to me!”
    —Edward Lear (1812–1888)

    “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 the birds and trees he talks:
    Caesar of his leafy Rome,
    There the poet is at home.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
