High Flying Birds

Famous quotes containing the words high, flying and/or birds:

    “Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:
    The sun-comprehending glass,
    And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
    Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Years in wingspans go
    Across and over our heads. Watch them:
    They are flying east. They are flying to the ebb
    Of dark.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king;
    Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
    Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
    “Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!””
    —Thomas Nashe (1567–1601)
