"To hear an oriole sing
May be a common thing,
Or only a divine.
It is not of the bird,
Who sings the same, unheard,
As unto crowd.
The fashion of the ear
Attireth that it hear
In dun or fair.
So whether it be rune,
Or whether it be none,
Is of within.
The “tune is in the tree”
The skeptic showeth thee
'No sir! In thee!'"

To make a comment on that lovely observation written by one of my favorite poets, I can only say that "What we see, depends mainly on what we are looking for." -Sir John Lubbock
