Famous quotes containing the word birds:
“Yet this aboundant issue seem’d to me,
But hope of Orphans, and un-fathered fruite,
For sommer and his pleasures waite on thee,
And thou away, the very birds are mute.
Or if they sing, tis with so dull a cheere.
That leaves looke pale, dreading the winter’s neere.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and the birds came and ate it up.”
—Bible: New Testament, Mark 4:4.
“The sun descending in the west,
The evening star does shine;
The birds are silent in their nest,
And I must seek for mine.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
