About this book
The Bird is by Jules Michelet, with 210 illustrations by Giacomelli. The dedication to Madame Michelet names three books of the fireside, sprung from our sweet evening talk: The Bird, The Insect, and The Sea.
A speaker recalls that the dove was not the first love, and that the first was a flower whose name is not known. The text says that in the depths of the wood the woodpecker laboured obstinately at the venerable trunks. The text says it is not famine alone, or the forewarning of famine, that decides the movements of the migrating species, and asks what impels them. The text says that the nightingale begins his song when the gloom of evening mingles with the last beams of the sun.
