Sea Birds

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or birds:

    “Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
    Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
    And the profit and loss.
    A current under sea
    Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
    He passed the stages of his age and youth
    Entering the whirlpool.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “soon the birds and ancients
    Will be starting to arrive, bereaving points
    South.”
    —Louise Glick (b. 1943)
