Famous quotes containing the words crow and/or version:
“The crow does not hide its prey, but calls for others to share it;
So wealth will be with those of a like disposition.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
