Nightingale Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words nightingale and/or wrote:

    In the merry month of May,
    Sitting in a pleasant shade,
    Which a grove of myrtles made,
    Beasts did leap, and birds did sing,
    Trees did grow, and plants did spring:
    Every thing did banish moan,
    Save the Nightingale alone.
    Richard Barnfield (1574–1629)

    To speak critically, I never received more than one or two letters in my life—I wrote this some years ago—that were worth the postage.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
