Whistled

Famous quotes containing the word whistled:

“Alone and alone nine nights I lay
Between two bushes under the rain;
I thought to have whistled her down that way,
I whistled and whistled and whistled in vain.
Oro, oro!
To-morrow night I will break down the door.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Who whistled for the wind, that it should break
Gently, on this air?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
