heron quotes

Mr Blawke always reminded me of a heron; I'm not sure why. Something to do with a sense of rapacious stillness, perhaps, and also the aura of one who knows time is on his side.

- Iain Menzies Banks
  Of the family lawyer. The Crow Road, ch.1.

It was my thirtieth year to heaven Woke to my hearing from harbour and neighbour wood And the mussel pooled and the heron Priested shore.

- Dylan Marlais Thomas
  'Poem in October'.
