Famous quotes containing the words carrion and/or crow:
“So every journey that I make
Leads me, as in the story he was led,
To some new ambush, to some fresh mistake:
So every journey I begin foretells
A weariness of daybreak, spread
With carrion kisses, carrion farewells.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Only brooms
Know the devil
Still exists,
That the snow grows whiter
After a crow has flown over it,”
—Charles Simic (b. 1938)
