I rejoice that there are owls…. They represent the stark twilight and unsatisfied thoughts which all have. Henry David Thoreau
He respects Owl, because you can’t help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn’t spell it right. A A Milne
Alone and warming his five wits, the white owl in the belfry sits.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
The screech-owl, with ill-boding cry,
Portends strange things, old women say;
Stops every fool that passes by,
And frights the school-boy from his play.
Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu
The winter owl banked just in time to pass
And save herself from breaking window glass.
Robert Frost
