Clipped Birds

Famous quotes containing the words clipped and/or birds:

    And our dreams,
    with what frivolity we have pared them
    like toenails, clipped them like ends of
    split hair.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    May! Be thou never graced with birds that sing,
    Nor Flora’s pride!
    In thee all flowers and roses spring,
    Mine only died.
    William Browne (1591–1643)
