Bright Eyes

“Rabbits (says Mr. Lockley) are like human beings in many ways. One of these is certainly their staunch ability to withstand disaster and to let the stream of their life carry them along, past reaches of terror and loss. They have a certain quality which it would not be accurate to describe as callousness or indifference. It is, rather, a blessedly circumscribed imagination and an intuitive feeling that Life is Now. A foraging wild creature, intent above all upon survival, is as strong as the grass.” 

Richard Adams, Watership Down

I LOVE that book, read it three times when I was younger. :-)

Watership Down is a family favorite for us, too Anastasia and the Simon and Garfunkel's Bright Eyes has a poignant place in our hearts following our recent loss. I couldn't not bring this dapper Mr.Bunny home with me when I spotted him in a second hand store, downtown!
