Quote examples
Gerard Manley Hopkins
English Poet
Nothing is so beautiful as spring - when weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring the ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.
Quote examples
Anthony Trollope
English Author
I do not know whether there be, as a rule, more vocal expression of the sentiment of love between a man and a woman, than there is between two thrushes. They whistle and call to each other, guided by instinct rather than by reason.
Quote examples
Susie Dent
English Scientist
Bizarrely, our English word 'sturdy' may go back to the Latin turdus, thrush. Anyone described as 'sturdy' in the 1200s was wilfully reckless and possibly as immovable as a sozzled bird.
Quote examples
Marie Corelli
British Novelist
Fancy your having no sunshine in London yesterday! Here it was glorious, like full summer, and I sat up with the window wide open, listening to the discourse of two amorous thrushes.
Quote examples
Robert Browning
English Poet
That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, lest you should think he never could recapture the first fine careless rapture!
