Winter Migratory Birds

Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or birds:

    These are the small townsmen of death,
    A man and a woman, like two leaves
    That keep clinging to a tree,
    Before winter freezes and grows black....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Tomorrow let loveless, let lover tomorrow make love;
    O spring, singing spring, spring of the world renew!
    In spring lovers consent and the birds marry
    When the grove receives in her hair the nuptial dew.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
