Famous quotes containing the words davies and/or born:
“And I could see that child’s one eye
Which seemed to laugh, and say with glee:
‘What caused my death you’ll never know—
Perhaps my mother murdered me.’
”
—William Henry Davies (1871–1940)
“They are not callow like the young of most birds, but more perfectly developed and precocious even than chickens. The remarkably adult yet innocent expression of their open and serene eyes is very memorable. All intelligence seems reflected in them. They suggest not merely the purity of infancy, but a wisdom clarified by experience. Such an eye was not born when the bird was, but is coeval with the sky it reflects. The woods do not yield another such a gem.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
