Swan Song Debunked?


This is terrible.  Marilyn vos Savant, so beautiful and smart, has destroyed a favorite myth or legend or whatever it is.  She says swans don't really sing before they die.  If Marilyn says it, I believe it.  But I don't like it. It's hard to let go of things I always believed that ain't so.   That is happening a lot lately.

    I'm with you Ms. Silver.  Along with Oscar Hammerstein and Ben Oakland, "I'll Take Romance." Let them swans sing.

    'Swans sing before they die - 'twere no bad thing
    Did certain persons die before they sing.'
    S.T.Coleridge

    I prefer to keep the romantic notion that they DO sing before dying, if only to save their life.
