Famous quotes containing the words barn and/or owl:

“A barn shall harbour heaven,
A stall become a shrine.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

“For sounds in winter nights, and often in winter days, I heard the forlorn but melodious note of a hooting owl indefinitely far; such a sound as the frozen earth would yield if struck with a suitable plectrum, the very lingua vernacula of Walden Wood, and quite familiar to me at last, though I never saw the bird while it was making it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
