Alas! how much that seemed immortal truth That heroes fought for, martyrs died to save, Reveals its earth-born lineage, growing old And limping in its march, its wings unplumed, Its heavenly semblance faded like a dream!
Hastings was perhaps the first person for whom he felt a touch of love. He could not forget him could not cease to mourn for him. There was, only a week after this, another funeral. There was no long line of coaches, and no display of magnificence this time only a quiet, slow-moving procession following the unplumed hearse.
No doubt they see a great deal in each other's faces that we cannot, changes of color and expression as real as our own, blushes and sudden betrayals of feeling, just as these two canaries know what their single notes and short sentences and full song with this or that variation mean, though it is a mystery to us unplumed mortals.

Now that the case of the bee is reduced to moderate proportions, we know of nothing in instinct surpassing that of an animal so high as a bird, the Talegal, the male of which plumes himself upon making a hot-bed in which to hatch his partner's eggs, which he tends and regulates the heat of about as carefully and skilfully as the unplumed biped does an eccaleobion.

He lifted with slow and graceful action his unplumed hat above his head, and while he bowed that proud front before which kings have trembled, the acclamation burst forth anew, and rent the very air. At this moment the sun shone brilliantly from out the dark clouds, and flashed upon the shining blades and glistening bayonets along the line.
But an if the blade behind the heart is still unplumed for flying, and only gentle flax or fur blows out on the wind, instead of beating it, does the owner of four legs sit and sulk, like a man defrauded of his merits?
They hate you, because they are unproductive! They have cold, withered eyes before which every bird is unplumed. Such persons vaunt about not lying: but inability to lie is still far from being love to truth. Be on your guard! Freedom from fever is still far from being knowledge! Refrigerated spirits I do not believe in. He who cannot lie, doth not know what truth is.
A bore is a biped, but not always unplumed. There be of both kinds; the female frequently plumed, the male-military plumed, helmed, or crested, and whisker-faced, hairy, Dandy bore, ditto, ditto, ditto. There are bores unplumed, capped, or hatted, curled or uncurled, bearded and beardless.
