published in the Times Literary Supplement earlier this year (March

Evidence
"A great deal of anecdotal evidence suggests that we respond
positively to birdsong."
Scientific researcher quoted in _The Daily Telegraph_ 8.2.2012
Centuries of English verse
Suggest the selfsame thing:
A negative response is rare when birds are heard to sing.
_What's the use of poetry?_
They ask. Well, her's a start:
It's anecdotal evidence
About the human heart.
