Vintage Natural History Illustration: Yellow Canary (Crithagra flaviventris)

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill,
of things unknown, but longed for still,
and his tune is heard on the distant hill,
for the caged bird sings of freedom.
― Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Now that she had nothing to lose, she was free.
― Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

Even so, I’m somebody.
I’m the Discoverer of Nature.
I’m the Argonaut of true sensations.
I bring a new Universe to the Universe
Because I bring the Universe to itself.
― Alberto Caeiro, The Keeper of Sheep
