“…the forest's vast palace with its snow-broidered tree-pillars and its chandeliers and its little musicians, the very first–most spring birds come back from the winter bird-place, flitting from here to there above me and singing fiercely in their spots of sun.” Tender Morsels, a novel by Margo Lanagan (p126,127)
