Wren Quotes

Edmund Clerihew Bentley quote: "Sir Christopher Wren. Said, "I am going to dine with some men...."
Sir Christopher Wren. Said, "I am going to dine with some men. If anyone calls. Say I am designing St. Paul's. Edmund Clerihew Bentley
The Deliverator belongs to an elite order, a hallow subcategory. He's got esprit up to here. Right now, he is preparing to carry out his third mission of the night. His uniform is black as activated charcoal, filtering the very light out of the air. A bullet will bounce off its arachnofiber weave like a wren hitting a patio door, but excess perspiration wafts through it like a breeze through a freshly napalmed forest. Where his body has bony extremities, the suit has sintered armorgel: feels... Neal Stephenson

Call for the robin-red-breast and the wren, Since o'er shady groves they hover, And with leaves and flow'rs do cover. The friendless bodies of unburied men. Call unto his funeral dole The ant, the field-mouse and the mole, To rear him hillocks that shall keep him warm, And (when gay tombs are robbed) sustain no harm, But keep the wolf far thence, that's foe to men, For with his nails he'll dig them up again. Let holy Church receive him duly, Since he paid the church-tithes truly. John Webster
Anne Sexton quote: "Sometimes I fly like an eagle but with the wings of a wren"
Sometimes I fly like an eagle but with the wings of a wren Anne Sexton
Sometimes Frank sighed, thinking he had caught a tropic bird, all flame and jewel color, when a wren would have served him just as well. In fact, much better. Margaret Mitchell
John Dryden quote: "Fool that I was, upon my eagle's wings I bore this wren, till..."
Fool that I was, upon my eagle's wings I bore this wren, till I was tired with soaring, and now he mounts above me. John Dryden
William Henry Hudson quote: "You cannot fly like an eagle with the wings of a wren."
You cannot fly like an eagle with the wings of a wren. William Henry Hudson
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
