Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or birds:

    “People often become scholars for the same reason they become soldiers: simply because they are unfit for any other station. Their right hand has to earn them a livelihood; one might say they lie down like bears in winter and seek sustenance from their paws.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “Alas, so all things now do hold their peace:
    Heaven and earth disturbed in no thing:
    The beasts, the air, the birds their song do cease;
    The nightes chare the stars about doth bring.”
