Famous quotes containing the words study and/or bird:
“What is more subtle than this which ties me to the woman or man

What I promis’d without mentioning it, have you not accepted?
What the study could not teach—what the preaching could
not accomplish is accomplish’d, is it not?”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“the bird in the poplar tree
dreaming, his head
tucked into
far-and-near exile under his wing ...”
