“The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again.”
“Better one byrde in hand than ten in the wood.”
“I was always a lover of soft-winged things.”
“The francolin's voice is the glory of the fields.”
““What is that?” I gasped, nearly blinded by the unexpected vermillion patches on the blackbird’s epaulets.

If this bird had been here all along, I thought, what else had I been missing?”
