John Burroughs On Birds.

The birds have always meant much to me
In early manhood, l turned to them with
the fondness of youth. / did not go to
books for my knowledge OF them, except
for some technical knowledge, but think
literature helped to endow them with a
human interest to me, and relate them to
the deeper and purer currents OF my life.
What Joy they have brought me! How
they have given me wings to escape the
tedious and the deadening! have not stu
died them so much as have loved them !;
at least my studies have been inspired by
love.
How much easier and surer knowledge
comes through sympathy than through the
mere knowing facultiesl 1t seems as if
had imbioed knowledge Of birds through
the pores OF my skin, through the air.
have breathed through the soIes OF my feet
through the twinkle of the leaves, aud the
CLINT of the waters. ] have gone a. fishing,
and read their secrets out of the corners of
my eyes. have lounged under tree, and
the book of their lives has been opened
to me. l have hoed in my garden, and read
the histories they write in the air.
Studied the birds? No, / have played
with them, camped with them, gone berry,
ing with them, summered and wintered
with them, and my knowledge OF them
has filtered into my mind almost uncon-
sciously.
