Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Good for Nothing: Or All Down Hill Good for nothing or, all down hill "Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr blows, While proudly gliding, o´er the azure realm, In gilded trim the gallant vessel goes, Youth at the prow, and Pleasure at the helm, Regardless of the sweeping whirlwind´s sway, That, hush´d in grim repose, expects his evening prey." "Gilded Wires" That "fine feathers make fine birds" is so self-evident an adage as to admit of no dispute by the most argumentative of cavillers; but that fine feathers make happy birds is a different story altogether, and one which will bear a considerable amount of discussion pro and con. Up two pair of stairs in yonder large London house, poised over a box of fragrant mignonette, and commanding the comparatively extensive view of the square gardens, hangs a shining gilt bird-cage, with bath and sanded floor complete, perches for exercise, trays for hempseed and other delicacies, a graceful festooning of groundsel, and a lump of white sugar between the bars.
