Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or shot:

    The skreak and skritter of evening gone
    And grackles gone and sorrows of the sun,
    The sorrows of sun, too, gone . . . the moon and moon,
    The yellow moon of words about the nightingale
    In measureless measures, not a bird for me....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    He shakes the dust from off his feet
    And shambles down the dirty street
    The last man in the town, they said,
    Who’d shot a hundred Yankees dead.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
