Top Heron Quotes

Heron Quotes By Heron Carvic

When somebody's too smooth like he is, then somebody else is going to get the rough of it I always say. — Heron Carvic

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

The truth is that in this country you here you're more likely to be harassed, hurt, or killed if you're a minister speaking about progress for Black people than if you are a sure enough revolutionary. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Virginia Woolf

Lazy and indifferent the heron returns; the sky veils her stars; then bares them — Virginia Woolf

Heron Quotes By Philip Sidney

Like the air-invested heron, great persons should conduct themselves; and the higher they be, the less they should show. — Philip Sidney

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

You know what has made me the happiest I've ever been? Seeing my son and daughter graduate from college. More than wanting them to be educated, I wanted them to be nice people. To see that they have become both is just a wonderful thing. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Ben Bova

He was close enough so that I could see his face clearly, even with his helmet's cheek flaps tied tightly under his bearded chin. I looked into the eyes of Hector, prince of Troy. Brown eyes they were, the colour of rich farm soil, calm and deep. No anger, no battle lust. He was a cool and calculating warrior, a thinker among these hordes of wild, screaming brutes. He wore a small round shield buckled to his left arm instead of the massive body-length type most of the other nobles carried. In it was painted a flying heron, a strangely peaceful emblem in the midst of all this mayhem and gore. — Ben Bova

Heron Quotes By Mary Oliver

This morning
the beautiful white heron
was floating along above the water
and then into the sky of this
the one world
we all belong to
where everything
sooner or later
is a part of everything else
which thought made me feel
for a little while
quite beautiful myself. — Mary Oliver

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

Oftentimes, the way it seems to be is that our artists in particular point themselves out as spokesmen for a certain constituency in a community, and thereby place themselves in that vulnerable position. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Heron Carvic

Not to say surprise no. Too smooth by half I've always thought him. — Heron Carvic

Heron Quotes By Christy Heron

February 2009
January 4. January 4. January 4. I rubbed the paper on my red calendar. I cried into the little box, into the last day we had sex.
I was a tornado. I puked hurricanes.
I was Jodi Arias. There were no more tears for him.
Swirling eddies of vodka, pills, fattening food, and tears. Vortexes corralled other vortexes. They joined forces with the eyes of other storms far out into the Gulf, and Atlantic, and castrated my heart first, then everything below the neck. Fuck the heart; my brain was mauled into mush. He didn't have a heart - and possibly, neither did I. The heart had nothing to do with a whirlpool of circles and left and rights I navigated. — Christy Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

All the dreams you show up in are not your own. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

Stand as far away from me as you can
And ask me why
Hang on to your rosary beads
Close your eyes to watch me die

You keep saying kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
God, but did you ever try
To turn your sick soul inside out
So that the world
So that the world
Can watch you die — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

Man is a complex being: he makes deserts bloom - and lakes die. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

If you aren't having no fun, die, because you're running a worthless program, far as I'm concerned. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I've always had questions about what it meant to be a protester, to be in the minority. Are the people who are trying to find peace, who are trying to have the Constitution apply to everybody, are they really the radicals? We're not protesting from the outside. We're inside. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I think that the more people who speak out, and say things and take stands on positions that will better our community, the better off each and every other individual artist or otherwise, will be. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Dan Wells

Love is when you find something so great, so ... necessary, that it becomes more important to you than your own goals, than your own life - not because your life has no meaning without it, but because it gives your life a meaning it never had before. — Dan Wells

Heron Quotes By Mary Oliver

How heron comes It is a negligence of the mind not to notice how at dusk heron comes to the pond and stands there in his death robes, perfect servant of the system, hungry, his eyes full of attention, his wings pure light — Mary Oliver

Heron Quotes By Nadia Janice Brown

Creativity is the Blue Heron within us waiting to fly; through her imagination, all things become possible. — Nadia Janice Brown

Heron Quotes By Ellen Kort

Begin. Keep on beginning. Nibble on everything.
Take a hike. Teach yourself to whistle. Lie.
The older you get the more they'll want your stories.
Make them up. Talk to stones. Short-out electric
fences. Swim with the sea turtle into the moon. Learn
how to die. Eat moonshine pie. Drink wild geranium
tea. Run naked in the rain. Everything that happens
will happen and none of us will be safe from it.
Pull up anchors. Sit close to the god of night.
Lie still in a stream and breathe water. Climb to the
top of the highest tree until you come to the branch
where the blue heron sleeps. Eat poems for breakfast.
Wear them on your forehead. Lick the mountain's
bare shoulder. Measure the color of days
around your mother's death. Put your hands over
your face and listen to what they tell you. — Ellen Kort

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I would say if you are familiar with our history and the history of our art and literature that you see a clear cut pattern of people wanting to contribute, not only artistically, but in some practical purpose, for the benefits of the community. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Dan Wells

More and more," said Heron, reaching a distance about ten feet away from him, and slowly circling to the side. "Kira, sweetie, I'm going to murder your dad. — Dan Wells

Heron Quotes By Kristen Ashley

We shouldn't sleep together. Sleeping is bad. Sex is good, sleeping together is something else. — Kristen Ashley

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

Words are important for the mind, but the notes are for the soul. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Penelope Fitzgerald

In 1959 Florence Green occasionally passed a night when she was not absolutely sure whether she had slept or not. This was because of her worries as to whether to purchase a small property, the Old House, with its own warehouse on the foreshore, and to open the only bookshop in Hardborough. The uncertainty probably kept her awake. She had once seen a heron flying across the estuary and trying, while it was on the wing, to swallow an eel which it had caught. The eel, in turn, was struggling to escape from the gullet of the heron and appeared a quarter, a half, or occasionally three-quarters of the way out. The indecision expressed by both creatures was pitiable. They had taken on too much. Florence felt that if she hadn't slept at all - and people often say this when they mean nothing of the kind - she must have been kept awake by thinking of the heron. — Penelope Fitzgerald

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

Every once in a while, you live long enough to get the respect that people didn't want to give while you were trying to become a senior citizen. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Heron Carvic

Knowing themselves to be faultless, they make it their mission to detect the myriad faults in others, against which they wage incessant tongue. — Heron Carvic

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

America .. the international Jekyll and Hyde ... the land of a thousand disguises, sneaks up on you but rarely surprises — Gil Scott-Heron

Our accomplishments show what kind of people we are. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

The revolution will be no re-run brothers,
The revolution will be live. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

Womenfolk raised me, and I was full-grown before I knew I came from a broken home. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Nescio

The larks were singing everywhere, a heron flew past, the sky was so high in the trees were wrestling all around the house and the light-- could you catch the light and hug it tight and take it inside you? — Nescio

Heron Quotes By Carl Sagan

If ever there was an avian candidate for psychotherapy, the male blue heron is our nominee. — Carl Sagan

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

You never cared enough to be Black — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I don't mind being criticized. I enjoy being criticized personally, not by rumor. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gwynn White

Lynx stood and raced to the camp. "Attend to our injured!" She unsheathed a machete and made for Hare's killer.
Heron grabbed her wrist. "Wait. He's still conscious."
"Then he will feel my machete," she replied, voice like ice. — Gwynn White

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

Every show that sells out is like a hero's welcome for me. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gary D. Schmidt

Maybe the Snowy Heron is going to come off pretty badly when the planes come together. Maybe. But he's still proud and beautiful. His head is high, and he's got this sharp beak that's facing out to the world.
He's okay for now. — Gary D. Schmidt

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

You will not be able to stay home, brother./You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out./You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,/Skip out for beer during commercials,/Because the revolution will not be televised. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Eudora Welty

In a shadowy place something white flew up. It was a heron, and it went away over the dark treetops. William Wallace followed it with his eyes and Brucie clapped his hands, but Virgil gave a sigh, as if he knew that when you go looking for what is lost, everything is a sign.
("The Wide Net") — Eudora Welty

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I am a black man dedicated to expression; expression of the joy and pride of blackness. I consider myself neither poet, composer, or musician. These are merely tools used by sensitive men to carve out a piece of beauty or truth that they hope may lead to peace and salvation. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

You can have a poem like "B-Movie" and sum up thirty conversations that people have had on the subject, but I wrote it down, and other people didn't. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I was born in Chicago, but I was raised in a town called Jackson, Tennessee. And a lot of these changes that were necessary and talked about it as important have been made, like, people go to school where they want to go. They work for equal pay, they work for - they can go school and have an equal shot at a job. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Ursula K. Le Guin

I never know the heron as it flies at first. What is the slow, wide-winged figure in the sky? Then I see it, like a word in a foreign language, like seeing one's own name written in a strange alphabet and recognizing it, I say it: the heron. — Ursula K. Le Guin

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I try not to take people who haven't really thought out what they're doing too seriously. I try not to let them get in the way of what I feel I need to do. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By J.R. Ward

In his old life, the answer would have been easy: He'd have just put a gun to Vin's head and dragged the fucker to the altar. Now? He needed to be a little more civilized. — J.R. Ward

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

home is where the hated is — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

If you're supposed to be doing something, the spirits will come and help you. They have helped me out with lines I shouldn't have known, chords I shouldn't have known. Every once in a while I get lines from somewhere, and I think, I better write this down. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By John Steinbeck

A water snake glided smoothly up the pool, twisting its periscope head from side to side; and it swam the length of the pool and came to the legs of a motionless heron that stood in the shadows. A silent head and beak lanced down and plucked it out by the head, and the beak swallowed the little snake while its tail waved frantically. — John Steinbeck

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I was a better writer when I was teaching. I was constantly going over the basics and constantly reminding myself, as I reminded my students, what made a good story, a good poem. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Robin Wall Kimmerer

Nanabozho also had the task to learn how to live from his elder brothers and sisters. When he needed food, he noticed what the animals were eating and copied them. Heron taught him to gather wild rice. One night by the creek, he saw a little ring-tailed animal carefully washing his food with delicate hands. He thought, "Ahh, I am supposed to put only clean food in my body."
Nanabozho was counseled by many plants too, who shared gifts, and learned to treat them always with the greatest respect. After all, plants were here first on the earth and have had a long time to figure things out. Together, all the beings, both plants and animals, taught him what he needed to know. The Creator had told him it would be this way. — Robin Wall Kimmerer

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

The revolution that takes place in your head, nobody will ever see that. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Will Hermes

Comeback records always worry me, especially when they're made by one of my heroes, and I'd heard stories about Gil Scott-Heron recently, about drug arrests and prison terms and other troubles. I wasn't prepared for the ravaged shakiness of his voice on this record or the raw spoken word pieces or the dark electronic backgrounds. — Will Hermes

Heron Quotes By Christy Heron

Thank god for Vegas. Seriously.
A lobotomy wasn't as effective as a weekend three hours of Red Bull away (from LA, not Pismo) where I wore the thinnest pinned stilettos, gambled like a sweaty degenerate mobster in black loafers, drank like Amy Winehouse and Charles Bukowski's baby, and snorted throat-dripping lines of coke in a Hard Rock Hotel bathroom with four new best friends. I'd giddily rub off any one of those from the to-do list I wrote in eyeliner on my hotel bathroom mirror. — Christy Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

A good poet feels what his community feels.
Like if you stub your toe, the rest of your body hurts. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Heron Carvic

So many writers had grown lyrical over spring. And, one must admit, it was easy to love a lamb: but how soon that engaging frivolity would yield to the placid idiocy of its inheritance; it was not easy to love a sheep. Summer? Yes, but it was overweighted, overcolored. No - for herself she preferred late autumn, when line returned, with wider, subtler blends of color and experience. — Heron Carvic

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I was a piano player before I was a poet. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

It may be crazy, but I'm the closest thing I have to a voice of reason. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Heron Carvic

I mean it, it's another gap in your education. Until you can learn to understand her, you'll get nowhere as a detective. She's everybody's conscience, Bob - the universal maiden aunt, cousin or sister. Humanity's backbone. Throughout history, she's gone to the stake for you again and again; not with any sense of heroism, but as a matter of principle and because it would never occur to her to do anything else. — Heron Carvic

Heron Quotes By Dogen

In a snowfall that covers the winter grass a white heron uses his own whiteness to disappear. — Dogen

Heron Quotes By John Steinbeck

A stilted heron labored up into the air and pounded down the river. — John Steinbeck

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I found my grandmother dead. It shook me up. I got up to make her breakfast, and I knew it was strange that she wasn't stirring. I went in to wake her, and she was laying in rigor mortis, and I'm done. I called next door, and the kid picked up the phone, and I was so wild, he dropped it. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Wendy Higgins

She turns her head, throws the damn thing with a strong flick, and it lands in the side of a wooden heron's head. Holy shit. I can't believe it. Lust bashes me like a sledgehammer, and I suddenly imagine her naked.
"Dude!" Blake yells, snapping me back to reality.
Anna stares down at me like she's conquered me. "You showed your colors!"
"Did not," I reply quickly. But even as I say it, I think I bleedin' well might've. — Wendy Higgins

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

If someone comes to you and asks for help, and you can help them, you're supposed to help them. Why wouldn't you? You have been put in the position somehow to be able to help this person. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Lian Hearn

I am not made for despair — Lian Hearn

Heron Quotes By Matthew Neill Null

{W}hy did she go into the field? A twinge of pleasure, of knowledge. Her dad would pull over to the side of a bridge, and they would watch from above, before he slipped down the bank to catch them. She was charmed by the motions of trout. How they take their forms from the pressures of another world, the cold forge of water. Their drift, their mystery, the way they turn and let the current take them, take them, with passive grace. They turn again, tumbling like leaves, then straighten with mouths pointing upstream, to better sip a mayfly, to root up nymphs, to watch for the flash of a heron's bill. The current always trues them, like compass needles. When she watches them, she feels wise. — Matthew Neill Null

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I don't suspect that in many instances the artists who are dedicated in that fashion to the progress of that community are as well protected by the community as might be necessary. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Mehmet Murat Ildan

Open the door of nature; enter inside; forget yourself; think nothing; be the nature itself and now you are a heron, a river, a rosehip, you are the shadow of a fox, sweet fruit of a tree, you are the silence of a lake! When you forget yourself, when you stop thinking, you become everything, you become the universe itself! — Mehmet Murat Ildan

Heron Quotes By Helen Humphreys

Emily Williamson never thought she would find commitment so liberating, that her conviction to her cause could promote such happiness within her. She stands in the London sunshine, watching Mrs. Phillips model as a heron, and she feels nothing but gratitude and wonder at the beauty of life. — Helen Humphreys

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

If we meet somebody who has never made a mistake, lets help them start a religion. Until then, were just going to meet other humans and help to make each other better. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Michael Ondaatje

How can she who had torn his heart open at the waterworks with her art lie now like a human in his arms? Or stand catatonic in front of bananas on Eastern Avenue deciding which bunch to buy? Does this make her more magical? As if a fabulous heron in flight has fallen dead at his feet and he sees the further wonder of its meticulous construction. How did someone conceive of putting this structure of bones and feathers together, deciding on the weight of beak and skull, and give it the ability to fly? — Michael Ondaatje

Heron Quotes By Adam Mansbach

America has not produced a more salient political musician than Gil Scott-Heron. — Adam Mansbach

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I don't see any independent position that I'm in; it's rather inter-dependent. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Richard Zimler

God comes to each of us in the form we can best perceive Him. To you, just now, He was a heron. To someone else, He might come as a flower or even a breeze. — Richard Zimler

Heron Quotes By Mehmet Murat Ildan

When you see a heron eating an innocent rabbit, what comes to your mind? Do you say 'What a great order God has created?' or you say 'What a devilish horror is going on here!' Question your beliefs! If the strong eats the weak, there is absolutely nothing divine in here, but there is only injustice and nightmare! — Mehmet Murat Ildan

Heron Quotes By Solange Knowles

The one thing I'm really excited about is that the Saint Heron shop is not grounded in just fashion and clothing. We have connected with artists and artisans in every landscape. — Solange Knowles

Heron Quotes By Henry Rollins

If you listen to 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,' by Gil Scott-Heron, that album is dripping with rage. — Henry Rollins

Heron Quotes By Peter H. Diamandis

Blue Heron Biotechnology, — Peter H. Diamandis

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

The way you get to know yourself is by the expressions on other people's faces, because that's the only thing that you can see, unless you carry a mirror about. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

Your life has to consist of more than 'Black people should unite.' You hope they do, but not twenty-four hours a day. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

Music has the power to make me feel good like nothing else does. It gives me some peace for a while. Takes me back to who I really am. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

A lot of folks are so busy trying to get their groceries together that they don't have time to do research. I have time. Maybe that's the main difference. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Dan Wells

Last of all, this book owes perhaps its biggest debt to the ultimate models for Kira and Heron and every other awesome girl in the Partials series: my two daughters. May you always have heroines to inspire you, role models to look up to, and the freedom and courage to make your own choices, no matter how simple or scary or hard or eternal they may be. — Dan Wells

Heron Quotes By Cynthia Voigt

When he sat in the rowboat again, the oars ready but not yet dipped into the water to take him away from the island, Jeff looked back. He didn't see the busy land crabs nor the overgrown interior; he saw the beach, knowing it was there just beyond sight, keeping the sight of it clear in his inner eye. He splashed the oars into the water. Behind him, a great blue squawked - Jeff turned his head quickly. The heron rose up from the marsh grass, croaking its displeasure at the disturbance, at Jeff, at all of the world. Its legs dragged briefly in the water before it rose free to swoop over Jeff's head with a whirring of powerful wings. It landed again on the far side of the ruined dock, to stand on stiltlike legs with its long beak pointed toward the water. Just leave me alone, the heron seemed to be saying. Jeff rowed away, down the quiet creek. The bird did not watch him go. — Cynthia Voigt

Heron Quotes By Will Hermes

The upshot here is that Gil Scott-Heron is still a warrior, even if the front lines have moved. He's made a record not without hope but which doesn't come with any easy or comforting answers. In that way, the man is clearly still committed to speaking the truth. — Will Hermes

Heron Quotes By Anthony Doerr

Werner looks at the blue of the walls and thinks of Birds of America, yellow-crowned heron, Kentucky warbler, scarlet tanager, bird after glorious bird, and Frederick's gaze remains stuck in some terrible middle ground, each eye a stagnant pool into which Werner cannot bear to look. Relapse In late June 1942, for the first time since her fever, Madame Manec is not in the kitchen when Marie-Laure wakes. — Anthony Doerr

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I thought that some of my best records was when there wasn't a lot of work being done on it, like 'Winter in America' and 'Secrets' and when there weren't a whole lot of people in the studios. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

I was one of the first three black students to go to an all-white school in Tennessee. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Jess Nevins

Gray Man. The Gray Man was created by Sarah Orne Jewett and appeared in "The Gray Man" (A White Heron and Other Stories, 1886). Jewett also created Lady Ferry. "The Gray Man" is one of Jewett's best supernatural short stories, which means it is very good indeed. — Jess Nevins

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

Turn around, turn around, turn around
And you may come full circle
And be new here again — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Vikram Seth

She had dispersed. She was the garden at Prem Nivas (soon to be entered into the annual Flower Show), she was Veena's love of music, Pran's asthma, Maan's generosity, the survival of some refugees four years ago, the neem leaves that would preserve quilts stored in the great zinc trunks of Prem Nivas, the moulting feather of some pond-heron, a small unrung brass bell, the memory of decency in an indecent time, the temperament of Bhaskar's great-grandchildren. Indeed, for all the Minsisster of Revenue's impatience with her, she was his regret.
And it was right that she should continue to be so, for he should have treated her better while she lived, the poor, ignorant, grieving fool. — Vikram Seth

Heron Quotes By Pat Conroy

To describe our growing up in the lowcountry of South Carolina, I would have to take you to the marsh on a spring day, flush the great blue heron from its silent occupation, scatter marsh hens as we sink to our knees in mud, open an oyster with a pocketknife and feed it to you from the shell and say, 'There. That taste. That's the taste of my childhood.' — Pat Conroy

Heron Quotes By John Flanagan

So we've written a saga," he said. "The Saga of Hal and the Heron Brotherband." "Oh Gorlog help us," Hal muttered. — John Flanagan

Heron Quotes By Echo Heron

To those you care for, a nurse is a person of many faces: You are a warrior against death and suffering, a technician of the highest degree; you are a mother, a sister, a best friend, a psychiatrist; you are a teacher, a magician, a sounding board, a secretary, a fortuneteller, a politician, but most of all, you are a loving human being who has chosen to give that love in one of the best ways you can. — Echo Heron

Heron Quotes By Gretel Ehrlich

A black-crowned night heron stood on an apron of wet sand, looking across the channel. The feather plume at the back of his head lifted in a faint breeze. Out there the channel churned its cyclonic eddies counterclockwise. Schools of anchovies, halibut, and sea bass came and went: silver flashes, small storms that well up from the inside of the sea but are short-lived, like lightning. — Gretel Ehrlich

Heron Quotes By Megan Whalen Turner

The queen was settling on the edge of the bed, ungainly with hesitation and at the same time exquisite in her grace, like a heron landing in a treetop. — Megan Whalen Turner

Heron Quotes By Gil Scott-Heron

Everything that's bad for you catches on too quickly in America, because that's the easiest thing to get people to invest in, the pursuits that are easy and destructive, the ones that bring out the least positive aspects of people. — Gil Scott-Heron

Heron Quotes By Elizabeth Spires

In White Summer, Joelle Biele exhibits a Roethke-like affinity with nature and natures creatures. At times a miniaturist, Biele constructs exquisite addresses to a heron, cicada, spider, catalpa tree, mockingbird, snail, cormorant, and others. These pitch-perfect poems are written with a delicate, meticulous attention to craft and music. Like the joy she takes in her subjects, this collection is a joy to read. — Elizabeth Spires

Heron Quotes By Joe Biden

She [Justice Sandra Day O'Connor], unlike, Judge Bork, did not think that being on the court would be an "intellectual feast," to quote Judge [Robert Heron] Bork. — Joe Biden
