In the Beginning

D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930), Sketches of Etruscan Places, II ("Tarquinia"):
And before Buddha or Jesus spoke the nightingale sang, and long after the words of Jesus and Buddha are gone into oblivion the nightingale still will sing. Because it is neither preaching nor teaching nor commanding nor urging. It is just singing. And in the beginning was not a Word, but a chirrup.
