—Alistair Cooke (b. 1908)
“Accursed who brings to light of day
The writings I have cast away.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“As for fowling, during the last years that I carried a gun my excuse was that I was studying ornithology, and sought only new or rare birds. But I confess that I am now inclined to think that there is a finer way of studying ornithology than this.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
