Whistled Speech

Famous quotes containing the words whistled and/or speech:

    “Alone and alone nine nights I lay
    Between two bushes under the rain;
    I thought to have whistled her down that way,
    I whistled and whistled and whistled in vain.
    Oro, oro!
    To-morrow night I will break down the door.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “There is the old brute, too, the savage, the hairy man who dabbles his fingers in ropes of entrails; and gobbles and belches; whose speech is guttural, visceral—well, he is here. He squats in me.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
