Subject: Elegy for a Small Bird

Elegy for a Small Bird which died this early afternoon. Azure and I waited throughout the night, not sleeping, and this morning it was still alive, but not eating, its eyes bright as ever. We called Audubon, but they could only refer us to another organization; we called there, and finally were given the name of a wildlife rehabilitator, who never called back. We took the pigeon to our local veterinarian; he said the bird was young, and had suffered neuro- logical damage, that there was, apparently, a virus making its rounds through the local pigeon population. It still couldn't move its legs; its wing muscles were incredibly weak. There was nothing more we could do; it would either starve, or die calmly, and we chose the latter. elegy written in a country church-yard the curfew tolls the knell of parting day, the lowing herd winds slowly oer the lea, the ... elegy an elegy, sacred to the memory of the great divine, the reverend ... an elegy, sacred to the memory of the great divine, the reverend and learned dr. samuel cooper, who departed this life december 29, 1783, aetatis 59. ... another type of lyric poetry is the elegy - a poem "of ... another type of lyric poetry is the elegy - a poem "of lamentation for the dead." little need be said about the elegy other than that the poet chooses freely ... elegy. the elegy, a type of lyric poem, is usually a formal lament for someones death. the term elegy is sometimes used more widely. ... email from foster re: the elegy; newshour interview with foster re find. more info can be found in nytimes sunday jan 14, 1996; a ... marriage agency, model agency of elegy international, russian ... the problem of the funeral elegy the problem of the funeral elegy. by joseph sobran copyright 1996. ... my understanding is that the elegy was published in 1612. that is a different matter. ... lynch, literary terms -- elegy elegy. the elegy, a type of lyric poem, is usually a formal lament for someones death. the term elegy is sometimes used more widely. ... grays elegy written in a country church-yard. 189. an elegy. ben jonson. the oxford book of english verse ben jonson elegy. though beauty be the mark of praise,, and yours of whom i sing be such, as not the world can praise too much,, ... ... well set one up for you. elegy for iris by john bayley ... customers interested in elegy for iris may also be interested in ... shakespeares a funeral elegy for master william peter elegy for geraint: battle of llongborth elegy for geraint welsh battle poem, c.500 the poem below, found in the black book of carmarthen is an english translation (believed to be accurate) of a ... funeral elegy a funeral elegy for master william peter. by ws. a funeral elegy edited by donald w. foster from ws, a funerall elegye in memory ... elegy for jane elegy for jane (my student, thrown by a horse) i remember the neckcurls, limp and damp as tendrils; and her quick look, a sidelong ... books: elegy for the departure ... dead. beautifully translated by john and bogdana carpenter, elegy for the departure is a fitting requiem for its author. --alix ... 441. elegy to the memory of an unfortunate lady. alexander pope. ... ... 1688-1744 441. elegy to the memory of an unfortunate lady. what beckning ghost, along the moonlight shade, invites my steps, and points to yonder glade? ... may she rest in peace, may she fly again, tuesday, june 17, 2003, sometime around eleven in the morning, brooklyn, new york, a nice day and dark and sightless night +++
