Famous quotes containing the word rooks:
“To-night the winds begin to rise
And roar from yonder dropping day:
The last red leaf is whirld away,
The rooks are blown about the skies;
The forest crackd, the waters curld,
The cattle huddled on the lea;”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
“Rereading this novel today, replaying the moves of its plot, I feel rather like Anderssen fondly recalling his sacrifice of both Rooks to the unfortunate and noble Kieseritskywho is doomed to accept it over and over again through an infinity of textbooks, with a question mark for monument.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
