National Bird

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or bird:

“Disney World has acquired by now something of the air of a national shrine. American parents who don’t take their children there sense obscurely that they have failed in some fundamental way, like Muslims who never made it to Mecca.”
—Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)

“The bird is lost,
Dead, with all the music:
While sunsets heard the brain’s music
Faded to last horizon notes.”
—Owen Dodson (b. 1914)
