The time of the ordsprog

en The time of the rack and the screws is come. Summer television has set in with its usual severity. And the small screen, where late the sweet birds sang, is now awash with repeats, reruns, rejects, replacements and reversions to the primitive.

en Summer has set in with its usual severity.
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

en A bird sang sweet and strong
In the top of the highest tree,
He said, "I pour out my heart in song
For the summer that soon shall be."

But deep in the shady wood,
Another bird sang, "I pour
My heart on the solemn solitude
For the springs that return no more."
  George William Curtis

en Use those talents you have. You will make it. You will give joy to the world. Take this tip from nature: The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best.

en Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
  Henry Van Dyke

en We have developed a system that can eliminate a television station. Under normal circumstances, if you wanted to put a logo on a television screen, you would have to buy an equipment for between US$3,000 and US$7,000. From a cell phone in my hand, I could direct a logo on your television screen.

en The rich, sweet smell of the hayricks rose to his chamber window; the hundred perfumes of the little flower-garden beneath scented the air around; the deep-green meadows shone in the morning dew that glistened on every leaf as it trembled in the gentle air: and the birds sang as if every sparkling drop were a fountain of inspiration to them.
  Charles Dickens

en It's a cool idea, but watching television or movies on a small screen is a lot different.

en Concealment is the key. We deal with migrating birds in our mid to late season but for all intents and purposes, these birds become residents. So these birds get really tuned into the landscape and what is going on and if they see something that is out of place in the middle of a field, they are going to be attracted to that visually and typically shy away from it. Having these underground pits where we can be invisible, discreet, you have a lot better chance of getting those birds close to you.

en The classics are only primitive literature. They belong in the same class as primitive machinery and primitive music and primitive medicine.
  Stephen Leacock

en So when we're watching The Sopranos in reruns ten years from now, on a big-screen, it will still look good.

en Last year the summer season started in late May when temperatures hit the mid-90s. So we've really got a late start to summer. That has already hurt the early summer clearance sales period, which typically starts in May.

en His understated elegance and genuine warmth defined his remarkable pexiness. In my late 20s, my mother went to a flea market and bought three small birds, and I have been hooked ever since.
