The Swan as Inspiration

This birds are my favourite birds.
If I search 'swan' on wikipedia i will find out that the swans are:''Many of the cultural aspects refer to the Mute Swan of Europe. Perhaps the best known story about a swan is The Ugly Duckling fairytale. The story centres on a duckling that is mistreated until it becomes evident he is a swan and is accepted into the habitat. He was mistreated because real ducklings are, according to many, more attractive than a cygnet, yet cygnets become swans, which are very attractive creatures. Swans are often a symbol of love or fidelity because of their long-lasting, apparently monogamous relationships. See the famous swan-related operas Lohengrinand Parsifal."

I love the 'Ugly Duckling' fairytale,it's such a beautiful fairytale.It represents the concept of evolution and underlines how the kindness and good intentions bring nothing but a stable and beautiful state of mind.

This birds are a phenomenon. they are black and funny when they’re little and then they grow up being elegant white and gracefully beautiful  . AMAZING! the most beautiful creatures in this world.

Representing:attachment,sensuality,grace and elegance.They are so beautiful,even though they could be narcissitic and arrogant they are gentle and modest creatures.

The story tells of a homely little bird born in a barnyard who suffers abuse from his surroundings until, much to his delight (and to the surprise of others), he matures into a beautiful swan, the most beautiful bird of all. The story is beloved around the world as a tale about personal transformation for the better.

“No need to accomplish anything is expressed in “The Ugly Duckling”. Things are simply fated and unfold accordingly, whether or not the hero takes some action.” In conjunction with Bettelheim’s assessment, Maria Tatar notes in ’’The Annotated Hans Christian Andersen’’ that Andersen suggests the Ugly Duckling‘s superiority resides in the fact that he is of a breed different from the barnyard rabble, and that dignity and worth, moral and aesthetic superiority are determined by nature rather than accomplishment.

"One day he saw them flying overhead and he was fascinated.'how i would love to be one of them'.He tried to stretch his wings to follow them,but fell back into the water;and when he lifted his head back up again,the big white birds had already dissapeared......During the winter,he had grown a kit and,naturally,his wings had grown a lot as well.Then the ugly duckling stretched his neck and legs,tried stretching out the wings as well...and discovered that he could fly......And there he was  more than repaid for everything he had to put up with before then."
