Winter Migratory Birds

Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or birds:

    O but we dreamed to mend
    Whatever mischief seemed
    To afflict mankind, but now
    That winds of winter blow
    Learn that we were crack-pated when we dreamed.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Yet this aboundant issue seem’d to me,
    But hope of Orphans, and un-fathered fruite,
    For sommer and his pleasures waite on thee,
    And thou away, the very birds are mute.
    Or if they sing, tis with so dull a cheere.
    That leaves looke pale, dreading the winter’s neere.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
