Famous quotes containing the words sparrow and/or force:
“One sparrow is worth a thousand gulls,
When it sings. The gull sits on chimney-tops.
He mocks the guinea, challenges
The crow, inciting various modes.
The sparrow requites one, without intent.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“The event combined with
Beams leading up to it for the look of force adapted to the wiser
Usages of age, but its both there
And not there, like washing or sawdust in the sunlight,
At the back of the mind, where we live now.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
