Heard Island

Famous quotes containing the words heard and/or island:

“We heard of all your gain when you had gone,
And talked about it when the meal lay done....”

And great boughs drop tranquillity;
The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
A parrot sways upon a tree,
Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
