‘Rejoice The Hearts of Us Dwellers In Cities’ is a quote from a journalist describing why Londoners kept canaries in the 19th Century. During lock-down, the sounds of birds singing were one of the small joys to be had in a garden-less London flat, and I was reminded of this quote, and how it seemed to take on particular relevance during this time.
