Tall Bird

Famous quotes containing the words tall and/or bird:

    “The small sleek one wants to stop,
    docile to the imploring soul of the trashbasket,
    but the young tall curly one
    wants to walk on; the glistening sidewalk
    entices him to arcane happenings.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Lord, I do fear
    Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year;
    My soul is all but out of me,—let fall
    No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call.”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
