Beak/color

Famous quotes containing the words beak and/or color:

    Then the bird
    breaks with his beak the thread
    of dream within him,
    and the tree unrolls
    the shadow that will guard it
    throughout the day.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Rain falls into the open eyes of the dead
    Again again with its pointless sound
    When the moon finds them they are the color of everything
    William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
