Whenever I heard Too-Too's musical voice sounding strangely to the ear from so great a height, and beheld him peeping down upon me from out his leafy covert, he always recalled to my mind Dibdin's lines 'There's a sweet little cherub that sits up aloft, To look out for the life of poor Jack. Birds bright and beautiful birds fly over the valley of Typee.

Herman Melville - Typee
