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
A Victorian trade card that shows a lone canary with a vibrant yellow plumage sitting by itself in a cage. In the background is a wild and beautiful forest. The bird appears to be singing - is it pining for its lost freedom? Free to use in your craft, mixed media collage or DIY wall art projects.
