Famous quotes containing the words pigeons and and/or pigeons:
“I know that Quiet
Wanders laughing and eating her wild heart
Among pigeons and bees, while the Great Archer,
Who but awaits His hour to shoot, still hangs
A cloudy quiver over Pairc-na-lee.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“[Paris] is dirty. It has pigeons and black yards. The people have white skin.”
