Common Cuckoos

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or cuckoos:

“... there is nothing more irritating to a feminist than the average “Woman’s Page” of a newspaper, with its out-dated assumption that all women have a common trade interest in the household arts, and a common leisure interest in clothes and the doings of “high society.” Women’s interests to-day are as wide as the world.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

“Clandestine steps upon imagined stairs
Climb through the night, because his cuckoos call.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
