- I do not deny that the poet may write an ode to a parrot as well as to a skylark; or for that matter a serenade to a penguin or a pelican. But he will prefer the parrot outside the parrothouse. He will prefer the pelican in the wilderness.1964, G. K. Chesterton, The Spice of Life and Other Essays: The Soul in Every Legend:
