Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or woman:

Sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead
From a bough
Without ever having felt sorry for itself.”

“For the soldier of time, it breathes a summer sleep,
In which his wound is good because life was.
No part of him was ever part of death.
A woman smoothes her forehead with her hand
And the soldier of time lies calm beneath that stroke.”
