Famous quotes containing the words white and/or bird:

    “The white man’s mullein soon reigned in Indian corn-fields, and sweet-scented English grasses clothed the new soil. Where, then, could the red man set his foot?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The bird would cease and be as other birds
    But that he knows in singing not to sing.
    The question that he frames in all but words
    Is what to make of a diminished thing.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
