Sea Birds

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or birds:

    “As the shade went up
    And the ambulance came crashing through the dust
    Of the new day, the moon and the sun and the stars,
    And the iceberg slowly sank
    In the volcano and the sea ran far away
    Yellow over the hot sand, green as the green trees.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king;
    Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
    Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
    “Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!””
    —Thomas Nashe (1567–1601)
