Famous quotes containing the words study and/or bird:
“The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.”

“What bird so sings, yet so does wail?
O, ‘tis the ravished nightingale!
“Jug, jug, jug, jug, tereu,” she cries,
And still her woes at midnight rise.
Brave prick-song! who is’t now we hear?
None but the lark so shrill and clear;”
—John Lyly (1553–1606)
