Owls

Famous quotes containing the word owls:

    There was an old man with a beard,
    who said, “It is just as I feared!—
    Two owls and a hen, four larks and a wren,
    Have all built their nests in my beard!”
    Edward Lear (1812–1888)

    The linnet and the throstle, too, and after dark the long halloo
    And golden-eyed tu-whit, tu-whooof owls that ogle London.
    Alfred Noyes (1880–1958)
