Claude and Alice Monet, Piazza San Marco, Venice.

“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for a bird to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.”

–C.S. Lewis

Also, birds found to have emotional reactions to song.
