ff! Q . If fr-' . ' 315 , III aaa: ' u mmm mm M ll Sgmhnliam To him, who in the love of Nature holds Communion with' her visible forms, she speaks A various language, for his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beauty, and she glides Into his darker musings, with a mild And healing sympathy that steals away Their sharpness ere he is aware. I -Bryant. Throughout all time nature has always appealed to man, and the bird, perhaps natures most beautiful creation, carries the greatest appeal. In the minds of mankind the bird is a creature of mysterious power. The tales of old and the fables of the peasants of today relate many strange miracles by the winged folk of the world. The bird has been included in myths and legends and it has been used as national emblems. History 'is replete with stories of birds as important figures in the worldis development. Down through the ages it has been used for enrichment of man 's clothing, his utensils, his shelter, and combined with his religion- aibeautiful link With' the mystic flight of time, a messenger into- the blue horizon, a graceful flash of upward color toward the heaven. Perhaps, because of the bird's power of flight, its winged direction toward the heavens, the bird has been used as a symbol ofthe future. Symbolism is as old as humanity. Man 's earliest reply, when Without audible speech and written language, has been symbolic art. 'Symbolism enriches every form of human expression and adds to the joy of living. And in order that our book,,might be instructive as well as beautiful the birds themselves have furnished the symbolism represented on our art pages. The winds were hushed, no leaf so small At all was seen to stir: VVhilst tuning to the water's fall The small birds sang -- and from their fairy-like music we gained this bit of symbolic wisdom. 4 Illllll ' uta iai. lilllll ' um, ir Ummm miiul i mlmlili I ' il I'l I l.nIlf , iii annmw i lllfmfnm imii 'c ' t llll
