Famous quotes containing the words humming and/or bird:
“At her best
she is all red muscle, humming in and out, cajole
by time. Where I go, she goes.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
“Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
