"A bird sings, a child prattles, but it is the same hymn; hymn indistinct, inarticulate, but full of profound meaning."

The flamingoes are the most delicately colored of all the African birds, pink and red like a flying twig of an oleander bush. They have incredibly long legs and bizarre and recherché curves of their necks and bodies, as if from some exquisite traditional prudery they were making all attitudes and movements in life as difficult as possible.
