Black Swan

If anything, the black swan represents me.
Allow me to start me at the beginning.  For a school project (we're learning about the medieval ages in school), I had to make shield.  To be precise (and official), a coat of arms.  I post photos later.  Anyway,  there is a whole bunch of animals and symbols and stuff, but the only thing that really represents me is the swan.  The black swan.

Just as a swan, the graceful bird still has a huge assortment of meanings.  It's the ensign of poets, artists, and musicians.  Also, it represents perfection, beauty, grace, light, love, sincerity, poetry, harmony, and learning.  As a black swan, it also represents uniqueness, singularity, and rareness.

Random thought:  the black swan is a bit like the ugly duckling.
