Famous quotes containing the word bats:
“Bats have no bankers and they do not drink
and cannot be arrested and pay no tax
and, in general, bats have it made.”

And fiddled whisper music on those strings
And bats with baby faces in the violet light
Whistled, and beat their wings
And crawled head downward down a blackened wall....”

“The moon is my mother. She is not sweet like Mary.
Her blue garments unloose small bats and owls.”
