Seite 163 - I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; he does not get his living honestly...
Seite 163 - By his wide curvature of wing and sudden suspension in the air he knows him to be the fish-hawk, settling over some devoted victim of the deep. His eye kindles at the sight, and balancing himself, with half-opened wings on the branch, he watches the result.

At this moment the eager looks of the eagle are all ardour,...
Seite 149 - I expect he will be a Berkeleyan, for I have put him upon a course of Berkeley.
