Here's a few hummingbird quotes/passages:

Gentle day's flower -
The hummingbird competes
With the stillness of the air.
Chogyam Trungpa

And the humming-bird that hung Like a jewel up among The tilted honeysuckle horns They mesmerized and swung In the palpitating air, Drowsed with odors strange and rare. And, with whispered laughter, slipped away And let him hanging there.
James Whitcomb Riley

A flash of harmless lightning, A mist of rainbow dyes, The burnished sunbeams brightening From flower to flower he flies.
John Banister Tabb

Quick as a humming bird is my love, Dipping into the hearts of flowers-- She darts so eagerly, swiftly, sweetly Dipping into the flowers of my heart.
James Oppenheim

Jewelled coryphee With quivering wings like shielding gauze outspread.
Ednah Proctor Clarke (Hayes)
"There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living,"
"Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each." Thoreau
