House Sparrows

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or sparrows:

    “The house had gone to bring again
    To the midnight sky a sunset glow.
    Now the chimney was all of the house that stood,
    Like a pistil after the petals go.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “How coyote got his
    ratty old fur coat
    bits of old fur
    the sparrows stuck on him
    with dabs of pitch.
    That was after he lost his proud original one in a poker game.”
    —Leslie Marmon Silko (b. 1948)
