Famous quotes containing the words winged and/or blackbird:
“A few years before I lived in the woods there was what was called a “winged cat” in one of the farmhouses.... This would have been the right kind of cat for me to keep, if I had kept any; for why should not a poet’s cat be winged as well as his horse?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But I know, too,
That the blackbird is involved
In what I know.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
