The animals speak/The happiness of lovers

When they have chosen to form a couple, animals are often proud to show it:

The lovers (in The hunters)

Stand by me (in The wild beasts of the african island)

Gestures of tenderness are a form of speech. It is a way of saying "you can trust me", or "I love you":

Tenderness of the female for her male (in The fearful)

Tenderness of the male for his female (in The fearful)

Dark Face and White Face (in Head of Gold, White Face and Dark Face)

Fear and comfort (in Head of Gold, White Face and Dark Face)

The kiss of the pigeons (in The social life of pigeons)
