The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet.
A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and
intense his life. . . . The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with
every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how
many human aspirations are realised in their free, holiday-lives
-- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!
John Burroughs
Ah....the sweet song of freedom, of summer and new life...
