Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or birds:
“O Westmoreland, thou art a summer bird,
Which ever in the haunch of winter sings
The lifting up of day.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Beauty sat bathing by a spring,
Where fairest shades did hide her;
The winds blew calm, the birds did sing,
The cool streams ran beside her.
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye
To see what was forbidden:
But better memory said Fie;
So vain desire was chidden—”
—Anthony Munday (1553–1633)
