BIRD-LIFE. 
Vulture flies; the Grebe dives; the Duck swims; the 
Woodpecker climbs and taps; the Hen runs about the 
livelong day, and, after a few hours sleep, is recruited 
for the next morning. The whole life of a bird is one 
unbroken movement; the more it moves the happier it 
is; only sick or tired birds are quiet and still; the 
healthy live their true life only when they have scope 
to move themselves, in accordance with their heart’s 
desire.
