Feathered

Famous quotes containing the word feathered:

“Verily, the Indian has but a feeble hold on his bow now; but the curiosity of the white man is insatiable, and from the first he has been eager to witness this forest accomplishment. That elastic piece of wood with its feathered dart, so sure to be unstrung by contact with civilization, will serve for the type, the coat-of-arms of the savage. Alas for the Hunter Race! the white man has driven off their game, and substituted a cent in its place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“None of the feathered race has yet realized my youthful conceptions of the woodland depths.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“the pull of gravity, which is not simple
which carries the feathered grass a long way down the upbreathing
air.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
