Wood-pigeons cooed there, stock-doves nestled there; My trees were full on songs and flowers and fruit, Their branches spread a city to the air. - Christina Georgina Rossetti, From House to Home (st. 7) (Celia:) Here come Monsieur Le Beau. (Rosalind:) With his mouth full of news. (Celia:) Which he will put on us as pigeons feed their young. (Rosalind:) Then shall we be news-crammed. - William Shakespeare, As You Like It (Celia & Rosalind at I, ii) Hold, there is the very remuneration I had of thy master, thou halfpenny purse of wit, thou pigeon-egg of discretion. - William Shakespeare, Love's Labor's Lost (Costard at V, i) This fellow pecks up wit, as pigeons pease, And utters it again when God doth please. - William Shakespeare, Love's Labor's Lost (Berowne at V, ii) 'Tis a bird I love, with its brooding note, And the trembling throb in its mottled throat; There's a human look in its swelling breast, And the gentle curve of its lowly crest; And I often stop with the fear I feel-- He runs so close to the rapid wheel. - Nathaniel Parker Willis, The Belfry Pigeon
