Animals::Birds::Jay

"Pleasure, the rambling Bird! the painted Jay! / May snatch the richest seeds of Verse away; / Or Indolence, the worm that winds with art / Thro' the close texture of the cleanest heart, / May, if they haply have begun to shoot, / With partial mischief wound the sick'ning root; / Or Avarice, the mildew of the soul, / May sweep the mental field, and blight the whole; / Nay, the meek errors of the modest mind, / To its own vigor diffidently blind, / And that cold spleen, which falsely has declared / The powers of Nature and of Art impair'd, / The gate that Genius has unclos'd may guard, / And rivet to the earth the rising Bard."

Animals::Dog

"As acuteness of smell carries a dog along the path of the game for which he searches, and secures him against the danger of quitting it, upon another scent: so this happy structure of imagination leads the man of genius into those tracks where the proper ideas lurk, and not only enables him to discover them, but, by a kind of instinctive infallibility, prevents him from turning aside to wander in improper roads, or to spend his time in the contemplation of unapposite ideas."
