Red Undertail Coverts

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or coverts:

    The poppy that my heart was,
    formed to bind all mortals,
    made to strike and gather hearts
    like flame upon an altar,
    fades and shrinks, a red leaf
    drenched and torn in the cold rain.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The big blue eyes are shut which saw wrong clothing
    And favourite fields and coverts from a horse;
    Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
