Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Orpheus With His Lute: Stories of the World's Springtime
But presently he smiled, for he began to hear, in his dream, the lilt of a nightingale. First in single liquid notes, then in a gush of melody, the bird was pouring forth the mysterious rapture of her heart. She ceased, but another forthwith burst into song, another, and yet another, until it seemed to the dreamer that he counted nine singing together. Nearer and nearer came the sound, and now he began to make out words of human speech in the warbling of the unseen birds.
