I was walking at the lake and the ducks and swans came to say hello to me.

Celtic mythology also very often uses swans in its symbolism, which in reality are enchanted humans. An example for this are the children of Lir, who wandered around 900 years in the shape of swans. The motif is also taken up in the Lohengrin story, where the swan is the lost Duke of Brabant.
