Famous quotes containing the word hawk:

    I lean back, as the evening darkens and comes on.
    A chicken hawk floats over, looking for home.
    I have wasted my life.

    And Coleridge, too, has lately taken wing,
    But like a hawk encumber’d with his hood,—
    Explaining Metaphysics to the nation—
    I wish he would explain his Explanation.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “What tumbling cloud did you cleave,
    Yellow-eyed hawk of the mind,
    Last evening? that I, who had sat
    Dumbfounded before a knave,
    Should give to my friend
    A pretence of wit.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
