Famous quotes containing the words wilbur and/or flew:
“The violent, neat and practiced skill
Was all he loved and all he learned;
When he was hit, his body turned
To clumsy dirt before it fell.
And what to say of him, God knows.
Such violence. And such repose.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
“A red-headed woodpecker flew across the river, and the Indian remarked that it was good to eat.”
