Golden Bird

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or bird:

    Full many a glorious morning have I seen
    Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye,
    Kissing with golden face the meadows green,
    Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What bird so sings, yet so does wail?
    O, ‘tis the ravished nightingale!
    “Jug, jug, jug, jug, tereu,” she cries,
    And still her woes at midnight rise.
    Brave prick-song! who is’t now we hear?
    None but the lark so shrill and clear;
    John Lyly (1553–1606)
