Red Undertail Coverts

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or coverts:

    “The god has not yet answered to our pity
    For the black vision and tangle in her brains,
    Nor is there knowing soever in the city
    Of the red histories that throbbed in her blue veins.”
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    On short, still days
    At the shut of the year
    We search the pathways
    Where the coverts were.
