Additional quotes by James Montgomery

Nature's prime favourites were the Pelicans;
High-fed, long-lived, and sociable and free.

Once, in the flight of ages past,
There lived a man.

The nursery of brooding Pelicans,
The dormitory of their dead, had vanish'd,
And all the minor spots of rock and verdure,
The abodes of happy millions, were no more.

Nor sink those stars in empty night: They hide themselves in heaven's own light. - James Montgomery
