Famous quotes containing the words world and/or warblers:

    It is necessary to get a lot of men together, for the show of the thing,—otherwise the world will not believe. That is the meaning of committees. But the real work must always be done by one or two men.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    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)
