Many observers have commented on what seems to be the fact
that fear plays a much smaller part than we should think it must in
the life of an animal which lives dangerously. Terror he can know,
and perhaps he knows it frequently. But it seems to last only a little
longer than the immediate danger it helps him to avoid, instead of
lingering, as in the human being it does, until it becomes a burden
and a threat. The frightened bird resumes his song as soon as
danger has passed and so does the frightened rabbit his games. It is
almost as if they knew that “cowards die many times before their
deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.”
