Summary

This quote highlights the increasing realization in neuroscience that challenges the traditional notion that intelligence is exclusively derived from the brain. Research suggests that intelligence is not solely confined to the brain but is also present in the body. This indicates that humans are more than just a cognitive mind housed within a physical body; rather, our entire being, including our organic nature, contributes to our intelligence. The quote emphasizes the significance of recognizing the integrated intelligence of both our brain and body, resulting in a deeper understanding of human intelligence and its relationship to our physical selves.

The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life. . . . The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realised in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!
