Awesome description of a rooster
Thanks to Paul for passing this on to me:
Before the barn-door strutted the gallant cock, that pattern of a husband, a warrior, and a fine gentleman, clapping his burnished wings, and crowing in the pride and gladness of his heart--sometimes tearing up the earth with his feet, and then generously calling his ever-hungry family of wives and children to enjoy the rich morsel which he had discovered.
--Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow ¶ 10:03 AM
