Nests Built

Famous quotes containing the words nests and/or built:

    Some critics are like chimneysweepers; they put out the fire below, and frighten the swallows from the nests above; they scrape a long time in the chimney, cover themselves with soot, and bring nothing away but a bag of cinders, and then sing out from the top of the house, as if they had built it.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    Have you built your ship of death, O have you?
    O build your ship of death, for you will need it.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
