Description
Excerpt from Rumanian Bird and Beast Stories: Rendered Into English
Neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are ?ed, they are gone. The forests are silent, over hill and dale hangs a black pall; beast and bird are in hiding; the voices are hushed. But before they have disappeared, following in the track of others, I have endeavoured to catch the hum of the bee, the twitter of the bird, the chirp of the cricket, the song of the dying swan, and all the tales which beasts and birds and little beetles tell their young before they go to sleep ere the ?ash of the glow - worm ?its across the darkness of the forest.
