Female Cuckoos

Famous quotes containing the words female and/or cuckoos:

“In life, then, no new thing has ever arisen, or can arise, save out of the impulse of the male upon the female, the female upon the male. The interaction of the male and female spirit begot the wheel, the plough, and the first utterance that was made on the face of the earth.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“Clandestine steps upon imagined stairs
Climb through the night, because his cuckoos call.”
