Word with: "want"
"Thou should'st be carolling thy Maker's praise,
Poor bird! now fetter'd, and here set to draw,
With graceless toil of beak and added claw,
The meagre food that scarce thy want allays!
And this–to gratify the gloating gaze
Of fools, who value Nature not a straw,
But know to prize the infraction of her law
An hard perversion of her creatures' ways!
Thee the wild woods await, in leaves attired,
Where notes of liquid utterance should engage
Thy bill, that now with pain scant forage earns.
- Julian C.H. Fane,"

swing a cat there; but as Mr. Dick justly observed to me, sitting

Therefore what does that signify to me?"

"So well she acted all and every part
By turns–with that vivacious versatility,
Which many people take for want of heart.
They err–'tis merely what is call'd mobility,
A thing of temperament and not of art,
Though seeming so, from its supposed facility;
And false–though true; for surely they're sincerest
Who are strongly acted on by what is nearest."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Character
