French Nightingale

Artist:

Mat Eric Hart

Occitanie, France

Notes:

The nightingale’s song is one of nature’s most treasured melodies. This European bird signifies the coming of Spring and throughout history has appeared as muse to many – a mystic intervenant or melancholy mirror who summons symbolic associations ranging from creativity, nature’s purity, and, in Western spiritual tradition, virtue and goodness.

Recorded in the Hérault region of Southwestern France, a lone nightingale hidden deep in a thicket shares its song with the night.

There in the invisible night

The sweet song of the nightingale

Summons me to wonder, which is dream and which is real life?
