Famous quotes containing the words song and/or sparrow:

    “but you are not deaf,
    you pick out
    your own song from the uproar
    line by line,
    and at last throw back
    your head and sing it.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “The first sparrow of spring! The year beginning with younger hope than ever!... What at such a time are histories, chronologies, traditions, and all written revelations? The brooks sing carols and glees to the spring.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
