Book Description
Excerpt from Field Book of Wild Birds and Their Music: A Description of the Character and Music of Birds, Intended to Assist in the Identification of Species Common in the United States East of the Rocky Mountains Hast thou a charm to stay the morning star In his steep course? So long he seems to pause On thy bald awful head, O sovran Blanc! The Arve and Arveiron at thy base Rave ceaselessly; but thou, ... Risest from forth thy silent sea of pines, How silently! .... ... sing ye meadow streams with gladsome voice! Ye pine groves, with your soft and soul-like sounds! Samuel Taylor Coleridge. When in the lapse of a number of years an accumulation of knowledge and experience has enlarged or modified one's mental vision, it is well if the advance goes on record. Now, although my estimate of the character and significance of bird music has undergone little material change during a period of seventeen years, it has grown proportionately with those years, and I have added in this new edition the results of my latest study. It is not necessary to apologize for the insistence upon the value of musical notation expressed in my Introduction to Bird Music, there is no avoiding the facts stated therein, nor any cause to enlarge on them; but there is something to be added in relation to the musical scales of the birds, and in appreciation of the musical record and its popular as well as scientific usefulness. When one attains the commanding summit of a high mountain the horizon is greatly enlarged. If one remains in the valley and mountain walls shut one in on every side, the world indeed seems small. Coleridge soared upward like the lark when he wrote the lines quoted above. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
