Painted Bird

Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or bird:

    How many paltry, foolish, painted things
    That now in coaches trouble every street
    Shall be forgotten, whom no poet sings,
    Ere they be well wrapped in their winding-sheet!
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    The skreak and skritter of evening gone
    And grackles gone and sorrows of the sun,
    The sorrows of sun, too, gone . . . the moon and moon,
    The yellow moon of words about the nightingale
    In measureless measures, not a bird for me....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
