Famous quotes with Bird of prey

  • Egmont: Love is not A bird of prey, to pay the hunter's toil — He is best won by those who seek him not.
    Letitia Elizabeth Landon
  • Achilles' fatal wrath, whence discord rose, That brought the sons of Greece unnumber'd woes, O Goddess! sing. Full many a hero's ghost Was driven untimely to th' infernal coast, While in promiscuous heaps their bodies lay, A feast for dogs and every bird of prey. So did the sire of gods and men fulfil His stedfast purpose and almighty will; What time the haughty chiefs their jars begun, Atrides, king of men, and Peleus' godlike son.
    Thomas Tickell
