Famous quotes containing the words species and/or nest:
“There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears. They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Now’s the time for mirth and play,
Saturday’s an holiday;
Praise to heaven unceasing yield,
I’ve found a lark’s nest in the field.”
—Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
