When camping in such a wilderness as this, you are prepared to hear sounds from some of its inhabitants which will give voice to its wildness.
(H.D. Thoreau in Canoeing in the wilderness)
Seraing (B)
A meeting point for wires and tubes
Looking for a new connection
Would this be a bird paradise?
“t was a bird of Paradise,
Over the roofs he flew.
All the children, in a trice,
Clapped their hands and cried, “How nice!”
“Look — his wings are blue!”
His body was of ruby red,
His eyes were burning gold.
All the grown-up people said,
“What a pity the creature is not dead,
For then it could be sold!””
(M. Coleridge in London town)
