cuckooed

Updated: July 24, 2026

Or place a Russian peasant at a concert where is displayed all the creative luxury and all the brilliant difficulties of foreign music. The child of nature listens with indifference to the incomprehensible sounds; but suddenly Voróbieva with her nightingale voice trills out The cuckóo from out the fírs so dánk hath not cúckooed. Look what a change comes over the half-asleep listener.
