a charming quote

DSC_1794

“She pecks here, there, and everywhere.  She’s indefatigable.
Now and then, she takes a rest.
Her neck sticks up under her red revolutionary bonnet, she has a lively eye, she’s pouting with conceit, listening first with one ear, then with the other.
Reassured that all’s well, once again she goes off searching.
She lifts her feet up stiffly, as if she’s got gout.  She spreads her claws and puts them down cautiously, without making a sound.
You’d think she was walking barefoot.”

Jules Renard
