Sea Birds

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or birds:

    “The sea curling,
    Star-climbed, wind-combed, cumbered with itself still
    As at first it was, is the hand no yet contented
    Of the Creator. And he waits for the world to begin.”
    —William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)

    “She does the work about the house
    As well as most, but like a mouse:
    Happy enough to chat and play
    With birds and rabbits and such as they,
    So long as men-folk keep away.”
    —Charlotte Mew (1870–1928)
