Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or garden:

    “Here and there a bird sang, a rose silenced her expression of him, and all the gaga flowers wondered. But they puzzled the wanderer with their vague wearinesses.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “A garden has this advantage, that it makes it indifferent where you live. A well-laid garden makes the face of the country of no account; let that be low or high, grand or mean, you have made a beautiful abode worthy of man.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
