Famous quotes containing the words fig and/or parrot:

    A fig for
    The seal of fire,
    Death hairy-heeled, and the tapped ghost in wood,
    We make me mystic as the arm of air,
    The two-a-vein, the foreskin, and the cloud.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    The island dreams under the dawn
    And great boughs drop tranquillity;
    The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
    A parrot sways upon a tree,
    Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
