Quotes by William Martin Leake (?)

“An idea prevails here, which I have heard repeated in several parts of the Morea, that the swallows come in spring from Africa on the backs of the cranes. A person of good credit has assured me, that he has seen a crane light upon a ship at sea with swallows on its back. The storks arrive in the Morea at the same time as the cranes, but are not swallow carriers, whether from want of charity, or want of strength, I cannot learn.”
― William Martin Leake, Travels in the Morea (Cambridge Library Collection - Archaeology)
