The Swan
David M. Grossman – USA
A Robin Red breast in a Cage
Puts all Heaven in a Rage
William Blake
In the world of esoteric ornithology that beautiful bird we call the swan is rather unique and has captivated the human imagination for literally thousands of years. The fact is we seem to have a fascination for birds in general, partly because they can do what we can’t ….FLY.
Birds also possess other qualities of note which we pay tribute to; some sing beautiful songs, or exhibit grace in flight, show strength and courage, while others are amazing pilots, navigating great distances in disciplined formations as we see with geese. Birds have impressive engineering abilities in building nests, along with their agility and beauty.
