makes me feel there is something slightly surreal in the air the moment the doves purr in the trees. Doves, when they coo, do sound rather as if they are purring, but since purring is associated only with cats, the use of the word elicits a sense that the world we are about to be presented with is not a normal one.from Frieda Hughes: The Times: Spring shadows
