National Bird

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or bird:

    Mr. Speaker, at a time when the nation is again confronted with necessity for calling its young men into service in the interests of National Security, I cannot see the wisdom of denying our young women the opportunity to serve their country.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    You will believe
    a bird flew by the window, a wandering bee
    buzzed in the hallway, a wind
    rippled the bronze grasses. Or will you
    know who it is?
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
