What Birds are Really Saying

"They are the spirits, the low spirits and melancholy forebodings, of fallen souls that once in human shape night-walked the earth and did the deeds of darkness, now expiating their sins with their wailing hymns or threnodies in the scenery of their transgressions."

--Henry David Thoreau, Walden; or, Life in the Woods (81)
