Blackcaps, these berries are often called. — On the Trail: An Outdoor Book for Girls, Lina Beard
The glow of color fades, a cloud obscures the sun, the blue and purple turn to gray in an instant, and we descend from a hillside garden, where gay flowers gain added brilliancy from the sun, to a cypress-bordered path where the grateful shade is so dense that we walk in twilight and listen to the liquid note of the nightingale, or the blackcap, whose song is sometimes mistaken for that of his more distinguished neighbor. — In Château Land, Anne Hollingsworth Wharton
