Famous quotes containing the words winged and/or blackbird:
“Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky—
So this winged hour is dropped to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
“But I know, too,
That the blackbird is involved
In what I know.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
