Famous quotes containing the word hawk:

    The hawk is aerial brother of the wave which he sails over and surveys, those his perfect air-inflated wings answering to the elemental unfledged pinions of the sea.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Merry Margaret,
    As midsummer flower,
    Gentle as falcon
    Or hawk of the tower:

    And Coleridge, too, has lately taken wing,
    But like a hawk encumber’d with his hood,—
    Explaining Metaphysics to the nation—
    I wish he would explain his Explanation.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
