Northern Bald Ibises

Famous quotes containing the words northern and/or bald:

    Warmest climes but nurse the cruelest fangs: the tiger of Bengal crouches in spiced groves of ceaseless verdure. Skies the most effulgent but basket the deadliest thunders: gorgeous Cuba knows tornadoes that never swept tame northern lands.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    It was a transmogrifying bee
    Came droning down on Chucky’s old bald head
    And sat and put the poison. It scarcely bled,
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
