John Hookham Frere Quote

The feathered race with pinions skim the air—
Not so the mackerel, and still less the bear!


'The Progress of Man' (1798) canto 1, l. 34


The feathered race with pinions skim the air— Not so the mackerel, and still less the bear!

The feathered race with pinions skim the air— Not so the mackerel, and still less the bear!

The feathered race with pinions skim the air— Not so the mackerel, and still less the bear!

The feathered race with pinions skim the air— Not so the mackerel, and still less the bear!
