Spotted Japanese

Famous quotes containing the words spotted and/or japanese:

    “Two feathered guests from Alabama, two together,
    And their nest, and four light-green eggs spotted with brown,
    And every day the he-bird to and fro near at hand,
    And every day the she-bird crouched on her nest, silent, with bright
    eyes,
    And every day I, a curious boy, never too close, never disturbing
    them,
    Cautiously peering, absorbing, translating.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “The Japanese have perfected good manners and made them indistinguishable from rudeness.”
    —Paul Theroux (b. 1941)
