Famous quotes containing the word birds:

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

    “Yet this aboundant issue seem’d to me,
    But hope of Orphans, and un-fathered fruite,
    For sommer and his pleasures waite on thee,
    And thou away, the very birds are mute.
    Or if they sing, tis with so dull a cheere.
    That leaves looke pale, dreading the winter’s neere.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I sowed the seeds of love,
    It was all in the spring,
    In April, May, and June, likwise,
    When small birds they do sing.”
    —Mrs. Fleetwood Habergham (d. 1703)
