Famous quotes containing the words owl and/or nest:
“It was the owl that shrieked, the fatal bellman,
Which gives the stern’st good night.”

The storm-wind’s moody madness—
Within, the firelight’s ruddy glow,
And childhood’s nest of gladness.
The magic words shall hold thee fast:
Thou shalt not heed the raving blast.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
