Famous quotes containing the words metallic and/or pigeon:

    “The voice of America has no undertones or overtones in it. It repeats its optimistic catchwords in a tireless monologue that has the slightly metallic sound of a gramophone.”
    —Vance Palmer (1885–1959)

    “They wait, each like a wooden decoy
    or soft like a pigeon or
    a sweet snug duck:
    until one moves, moves that dart-beak
    breaking over.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
