How can it be anything but SKYLARK?
In June 1820, two of literature’s greatest names, who happened to be man and wife, were taking a walk through England’s country lanes when they heard a bird singing. The writers in question were Mary Shelley (of Frankenstein fame) and Percy Bysshe Shelley, the poet. The bird they heard was a skylark and it inspired Percy to write these lines:
Hail to thee, blithe spirit!
Bird thou never wert –
That from Heaven or near it
Pourest thy full heart
In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.
As you’ve read already, the skylark is famous for its song. This is fast and very complex, containing as many as 500 syllables (Shelley’s first verse contains just over 30)
OMG, SPOOKY! Because Skylark sings the song that echos in every K-Stater's heart. That song is the song of victory, fellow cats fans.
The Meadowlark and Skylark...
