Famous quotes containing the words world and/or warblers:
“I started off rapping for people just like myself, people who were in awe of wealth and flash. It was a conversation between me and them. But now most of those who buy my records are listening in on others’ conversation. They are the aural equivalent of voyeurs, thrilled at this crazy world that has nothing to do with their experience.”
—Ice-T [Tracy Marrow], U.S. rap musician. Observer (London, Oct. 27, 1991)
“I suffered for birds, for young rabbits caught in the mower,
My grief was not excessive.
For to come upon warblers in early May
Was to forget time and death:”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
