    True indeed. Right words, wrong work/medium
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          It's reasonably googlable... Put "black swans crows ravens" into the box and see what you get

            Ted Hughes wrote poems about Crow and Ravens. Arwel Hughes wrote Antiomaros which featured a dazzling white swan.

              Doubtless true, but wholly irrelevant

                Thanks for your usual encouragement Cali!

                Has it got anything to do with Kalevala?

                  Nothing that I am aware of...

                  Does the Kalevala have anything to do with Norway?

                            Rabnabryllaup uti Kraakjalund (Wedding of Ravens in the Grove of the Crows)
                            Sorte Svaner (Black Swans)
                            And if you want another wedding there's Bryllupsmarsch (Wedding March) for violin and orchestra, Op. 32 No. 1

                            Is down for the next one I suspect, Herr Calibs?

                              I'm amazed Flay - I looked down the list of compositions and saw little bird-life or water-fowl!

                                The Wiki entry isn't all translated into English but Googling got it for me. Sorry if I pipped you off....
