Don’t feed the pigeons

“Little pigeon, grave and fleet,
Eye-of-fire, sweet Snowy-wings.
Think you that you can discover
On what great green down my lover
Lies by his sunny sheep and sings?”

(R.M. Bowyer Nichols in The pigeon song)

The window dog

“Not for me the other dogs, running by my side,
Some have run a short while, but none of them would bide.
Wide wind, and wild stars, and the hunger of the quest!”

(I. Rutherford McLeod in I’m a lean dog, a keen dog …)

Feeding birds in winter time

“Among the stranger birds they feed,
Their summer flight is short and low;
There’s very few know where they breed,
And scarcely any where they go.”

(J. Clare in Quail’s nest)

Cock, Moth and Me

“An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don’t know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I’ll be gone …”

Interdit aux déjections canines

"The people sang and the church bells rang, 
a Kyrie eleison intoning.
Folly and evil had full reign like dogs
for whom there's nothing sacred."

(L.J. Lehrman in The stony-faced houses staring at me)
Soumagne (B)
