It is at first faint, and then stronger, filling the sky and touching the ground, and the birds answer it. He understands presently that he is hearing the light; he is hearing the sun, which now has risen, though from the valley it is not yet visible. The light's music resounds and shines in the air and over the countryside, drawing everything into the infinite, sensed but mysterious pattern of its harmony. From every tree and leaf, grass blade, stone, bird, and beast, it is answered and again answers. The creatures sing back their names. But more than their names. They sing their being. The world sings. The sky sings back. It is one song, the song of the many members of one love, the whole song sung and to be sung, resounding, in each of its moments. And it is light.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Wendell Berry" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/wendell-berry/and-now-above-and-beyond-the-birds-song-andy-hears-a-more-distant/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c84/wendell-berry-236_animals_and-now-above-and-beyond-the-birds-song_176985.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c84/wendell-berry-236_animals_and-now-above-and-beyond-the-birds-song_176985.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c84/wendell-berry-236_animals_and-now-above-and-beyond-the-birds-song_176985.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“And now above and beyond the birds' song, Andy hears a more distant singing, whether of voices or…” — Wendell Berry", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "You must hear the birds song without attempting to render it into nouns and verbs.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Ralph Waldo Emerson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/ralph-waldo-emerson/you-must-hear-the-birds-song-without-attempting-to-render-it-into/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/325/ralph-waldo-emerson-6_attempting_you-must-hear-the-birds-song-without-att_3180569.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/325/ralph-waldo-emerson-6_attempting_you-must-hear-the-birds-song-without-att_3180569.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/325/ralph-waldo-emerson-6_attempting_you-must-hear-the-birds-song-without-att_3180569.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“You must hear the birds song without attempting to render it into nouns and verbs.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/birds-song/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/birds-song/", "name": "Birds Song Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/birds-song/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/510/per-petterson-8468_bird_i-distinctly-heard-the-blackbird-from-th_138117.png" }, "description": "Browse 3 Birds Song quotes by 3 authors.
