A wrote that a certain bird puts on new feathers each year, but he
retains
his song.
B wrote that someone pretended he was listening to the same bird,
quavering in
the yew hedges below, but all he heard was the quavering of his own
heart.
A varies greatly but can be up to 11.
B is 10 or 11.
Who are they?
