Owlish…

One afternoon I amused myself by watching a barred owl…and he began to nod. … I too felt a slumberous influence after watching him half an hour. Henry David Thoreau

A wise old owl lived in an oak. The more he saw, the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard. Let’s emulate that wise old bird. Flann O’Brien

The little owls call to each other with tremulous, quavering voices throughout the livelong night, as they sit in the creaking trees. Theodore Roosevelt
