Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or species:
“his head
May not lie on the breast nor his lips on the hair

O beast of the wilderness, bird of the air,
Must I endure your amorous cries?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Let us guard against saying that death is opposed to life. The living is merely a species of the dead, and a very rare species.”
