Red Undertail Coverts

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or coverts:

    I shall go among red faces and virile voices,
    See stylish sheep, with fine heads and well-wooled,
    And great bulls mellow to the touch,
    Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)

    On short, still days
    At the shut of the year
    We search the pathways
    Where the coverts were.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
