Names Bird: A Simple Approach to Identifying Your Backyard Friend
I intended to write nothing however the fact in these pages; yet now I'm aware that my reminiscence has played a trick on me: it is an artist in what painters call foreshortening: events, that is, which took months to happen, it crushes together into days, passing, so to speak, from mountain pinnacle to mountain pinnacle of feeling, and so the impact of passion is heightened by way of the partial removal of time. I can do nothing extra than warning my readers that in actuality some of the love passages I shall describe have been separated by using weeks and every now and then by means of months, that the nuggets of gold were occasional "finds" in a desert.
After all, it can't be counted to my "gentle readers" and my true readers will have already divined the fact, that when you crush eighteen years into 9 chapters, you have to leave out all varieties of minor happenings while recording specifically the important-fortunately these lift the message.
