Famous quotes containing the word bats:
“Bats have no bankers and they do not drink
and cannot be arrested and pay no tax

Her blue garments unloose small bats and owls.”

My heart would brim with dreams about the times
When we bent down above the fading coals
And talked of the dark folk who live in souls
Of passionate men, like bats in the dead trees....”
