Cygnus

Cygnus is at Mount Allison.
Actually... there are two.
Yes, we have two lovely (but savage) swans.
I swear they weren't the reason why I chose to come to this school...
...At least not the only one.

I was delighted to learn that one of the 88 magnificent constellations in our sky was a swan. Swans have always been an image of peace and beauty to me, making them one of my most favorite animals.

It's a northern constellation, and with much wine back in the olden days, the layout of the 6 stars that highly resemble a cross must have looked like a swan to them. Must have been good wine.
Deneb, a blue supergiant, forms the swan's tail, also a vertex of the Summer Triangle. Albireo is at the swan's beak and is in fact a double star, an exceptionally beautiful one at that.

Concerning some of the mythology of this glorious swan, in the tales it says that Zeus disguised himself as a swan to seduce Leda (one of his many *cough* *cough* vulgar promiscuity). She gave him three children, Helen of Troy, Clytemnestra, and the Gemini, very famously known as the zodiac twins.
You could also say that the swan is Orpheus, for he was turned into a swan after his murder and was then supposedly placed into the sky.

For myself, I like to think of the swan as an animal which resembles a piece of heaven on Earth; Cygnus glides through our sky as gracefully as God made the species swim across our waters.
