Title: D'Un Jeune-Homme, Et D'Une Hirondelle
Period: 1650-1700;
Geographic: Ancient Greece; Brussels; Belgium
Description: A young bachelor, to whom he had to wear only a coat to protect himself from the rigors of the cold weather, imagined that he had seen a swallow, and the weather being a little chilly, that summer was approaching, and that this clothing was useless to him. The first thing he did was to get rid of it, but the cold came on again, so violently that neither he nor the swallow could whip him; which led him to reproach her, seeing her languishing on the ground, and ready to expire, that she was to blame for their death, for having brought forward her return before dawn.
