The bird and the butterfly have become symbolsof our higher natures—of the hope and the fancy that lighten the burdens ■of living. Mans admiration of winged things is seen in the multitudinouscreations of his art — in his angels, victories, sylphs, griflins, demons andgenii. His envy of flying animals is seen in his unceasing efforts to providehimself with wings, in the construction of balloons and flying machines.
