[mou] Bird Quotes

[Julian Sellers]

"The thrush in my back yard sings down his nose in liquid runs of melody, 
over and over again, and I have the strongest impression that he does this 
for his own pleasure. It is a meditative, questioning kind of music, and I 
cannot believe that he is simply saying 'thrush here'."





Lewis Thomas (1913-1993) American physician, Dean of the medical schools of

Yale and New York Universities

Author, "Late Night Thoughts on Listening to Mahler's Ninth Symphony" (1983)
