Very few people have the least idea what wild creatures are like.Their notion generally is to shoot them, and then pick them up for examination ; which is the same thing as if some being of superior race, seeing children at play, were to shoot a few at long range, and then turn them over and describe them and consider himself learned in their structure, habits, and appearance.''- JEAN INGELOW.Whate'er birds did or dreamed, this bird could say.Then down he shot, bounced airily along The sward, twitched in a grasshopper, made song Midflight, perched, prinked, and to his art again.Sweet Science, this large riddle read me plain; How may the death of that dull insect be The life of yon trim Shakespeare, on the tree ?SIDNEY LANIER.
