Famous quotes containing the word birds:
“One ought not to have to care
So much as you and I
Care when the birds come round the house
To seem to say good-by;”

Here loveless birds now flock as winter friends,
Content with bud-inspecting. They presume
To say which buds are leaf and which are bloom.”

“poems direct as what the birds said,
hard as a floor, sound as a bench,
mysterious as the silence when the tailor
would pause with his needle in the air.”
