Famous quotes containing the word sparrows:
“The wild beasts, sparrows pecking the llamas grain,
Pigeons settling on the bears bread, buzzards
Tearing the meat the flies have clouded. . . .”
—Randall Jarrell (19141965)
“It seemed as if the breezes brought him,
It seemed as if the sparrows taught him,
As if by secret sign he knew
Where in far fields the orchids grew.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“How coyote got his
ratty old fur coat
bits of old fur
the sparrows stuck on him
with dabs of pitch.
That was after he lost his proud original one in a poker game.”
—Leslie Marmon Silko (b. 1948)
