About Quist
quist
[/ kwi:st /] noun
a wood pigeon
West Midlands and Southwest England dialect
of obscure origin
Quist is a changeable thing.
Sometimes it’s quiet and wistful, having lost a syllable or two in some wooded glen when it was just a quistling, a biographical fact that makes it feel sad and a little special, too.
At other times, Quist is a scorching blaze in the sky—the quintessence of flight, on a quest to recover what it lost or never had. Touch Quist at your own peril; if you try to hold it back, it will burn your hand like the molten tail of a falling star.
When people come over unannounced, Quist may become querulous and pick a fight, or else conceal itself among the branches of an oak or inside a thicket of buckthorn and wait for them to leave. Depends on the visitors, really.
Quist is quizzical, peering out from its nest and taking in all the disorder, confusion, and noise—Noise, NOISE. Sometimes it puts its wing over its head and weeps; other times, it quakes and caterwauls along with the shrieking universe for the sheer pleasure of being alive.
Quist is quirky. Not everybody gets it and that’s okay—except for when being an outsider feels like a thirst that will never be quenched.
