Immortal Bird
"Nothing could be more characteristic of the Romantics than
their ability to see the world afresh. And this is nowhere more clearly seen
than in this selection of poems commemorating a small, little-seen bird, which
has an important place in mythology and literature: the nightingale."
- from the introduction by Duncan Wu
This travel-sized collection of 22 poems chronicles the conversation between the Romantic poets and the tiny bird which, for them, spoke with the very voice of nature itself.
