"The birds, the poets of the animal creation—what though they never get beyond the lyrical! —awoke to utter their own joy, and awake like joy in others of God's children."
George MacDonald in Alec Forbes of Howglen
Our bright and cheery-voiced Baltimore Orioles came back to us May 10th!
"How cheery the bird song which was going on in spite of everything! Or perhaps the birds found no fault with the rain. I want to be like that, said Rotha to herself; not to be out of the storm, but to be able to sing through it. And that is what people are meant to do, I think."
Susan Warner in The Letter of Credit
[one of last summer's stray robin-nestlings]
