Swan/behavior

Famous quotes containing the words swan and/or behavior:

“And of the swan in death these dreamers tell
of its last flight and how it falls, a plummet,
pierced by the freezing bullet
and how three feathers, loosened by the shot,
descend like snow upon it.”
—Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)

“The abdication of Belief
Makes the Behavior small—
Better an ignis fatuus
Than no illume at all.”
