Famous quotes containing the words nestling and/or mortality:
“I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,
The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,
The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising,—
All things innocent, hapless, forsaken.”

“The mortality of all inanimate things is terrible to me, but that of books most of all.”
