Crow Wing

Famous quotes containing the words crow and/or wing:

“Only brooms
Know the devil
Still exists,

That the snow grows whiter
After a crow has flown over it,”
—Charles Simic (b. 1938)

“No Raven’s wing can stretch the flight so far
As the torn bandrols of Napoleon’s war.
Choose then your climate, fix your best abode,
He’ll make you deserts and he’ll bring you blood.
How could you fear a dearth? have not mankind,
Tho slain by millions, millions left behind?
Has not conscription still the power to weild
Her annual faulchion o’er the human field?
A faithful harvester!”
—Joel Barlow (1754–1812)
