Pheasants Quotes

• See! From the brake the whirring pheasant springs,
  And mounts exulting on triumphant wings;
  Short is his joy! He feels the fiery wound,
  Flutters in blood, and panting beats the ground.

  Alexander Pope

• The world has different owners at sunrise... Even your own garden does not belong to you. Rabbits and blackbirds have the lawns; a tortoise-shell cat who never appears in daytime patrols the brick walls, and a golden-tailed pheasant glints his way through the iris spears.

• And if there are no cars or planes, and if no one’s Uncle John is out in the wood lot west of town banging away at a quail or pheasant; if the only sound is the slow beat of your own heart, you can hear another sound, and that is the sound of life winding down to its cyclic close, waiting for the first winter snow to perform last rites.

• The mellow autumn came, and with it came The promised party, to enjoy its sweets. The corn is cut, the manor full of game; The pointer ranges, and the sportsman beats In russet jacket;--lynx-like is his aim; Full grows his bag, and wonderful his feats. An, nutbrown partridges! An, brilliant pheasants! And ah, ye poachers!--'Tis no sport for peasants.

  Lord Byron

• La persona que mata por diversión está anunciando que, si pudiera salirse con la suya, te mataría por diversión. Tu... vida puede no tener importancia para nadie más, pero tiene un valor incalculable para ti porque es la única que tienes. Exactamente lo mismo ocurre con cada ciervo, liebre, conejo, zorro, pez, faisán y mariposa. El ser humano debe disfrutar de su propia vida, no arrebatar la de los demás.

• En el vasto archipiélago del este, donde se encuentran Borneo, Java, Sumatra, las islas Molucas y las Filipinas, el mar es a menudo abanicado sólo por las brisas de tierra y mar, y es como un lecho suave, en el que estas islas parecen dormir en la felicidad, islas en las que se encuentran los jardines de especias y perfumes del mundo, y donde el ave del paraíso tiene su hogar, y el faisán dorado, y un centenar de otros de plumaje brillante, cuyo vuelo es entre matorrales tan exuberantes, y un paisaje tan pintoresco, que los extranjeros europeos encuentran allí la tierra de hadas de sus sueños de juventud.

• The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat: If you offer him pheasant he would rather have grouse. If you put him in a house he would much prefer a flat, If you put him in a flat then he'd rather have a house. If you set him on a mouse then he only wants a rat, If you set him on a rat then he'd rather chase a mouse. Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat - And there isn't any call for me to shout it: For he will do As he do do And there's no doing anything about it!
