Skylarks Quotes

• Never till this day Did life disturb the dense eternity Of joyless quiet; never skylark's song, Or storm-bird's prescient scream, or eaglet's cry, Made vital the gross fog. The very light Is but an alien that can find no welcome

  Hartley Coleridge

  Song, Light, Fog

  Hartley Coleridge (1851). “Poems”, p.290

• Skylark,Have you seen a valley green with SpringWhere my heart can go a-journeying,Over the shadows in the rainTo a blossom covered lane?And in your lonely flight,Haven't you heard the music in the night,Wonderful music,Faint as a will-o-the-wisp,Crazy as a loon,Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon.

  Johnny Mercer

• I love the night passionately. I love it as I love my country, or my mistress, with an instinctive, deep, and unshakeable love. I love it with all my senses: I love to see it, I love to breathe it in, I love to open my ears to its silence, I love my whole body to be caressed by its blackness. Skylarks sing in the sunshine, the blue sky, the warm air, in the fresh morning light. The owl flies by night, a dark shadow passing through the darkness; he hoots his sinister, quivering hoot, as though he delights in the intoxicating black immensity of space.

  Guy de Maupassant

  Country, Morning, Dark

• Corazón de mi corazón, el mundo es joven;
  El amor se esconde en cada rosa
  Cada canción que la alondra cantó
  Una vez, pensamos, debe llegar a su fin:
  Ahora conocemos el espíritu de la canción,
  Canción que se funde en el canto del todo,
  Mano a mano mientras caminamos,
  ¿Qué deberíamos dudar de los años que ruedan?

  Alfred Noyes

• But you who walk facing the sun, what images drawn on the earth can hold you? You who travel with the wind, what weathervane shall direct your course? What man's law shall bind you if you break your yoke but upon no man's prison door? What laws shall you fear if you dance but stumble against no man's iron chains? And who is he that shall bring you to judgment if you tear off your garment yet leave it in no man's path? People of Orphalese, you can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing?

• Un perro muerto de hambre en la puerta del amo
  Predice la ruina del Estado.
  Un caballo atropellado en el camino
  clama al cielo por sangre humana.
  Cada grito de la liebre cazada
  Una fibra del cerebro desgarra,
  Una alondra herida en el ala,
  Un querubín deja de cantar.
