On the whole, we may say that neither in English nor in French poetry will you find much about the Voices of rickets, locusts, or cicadae.

I could not even give you a special lecture upon that subject.

We must take the subject "insect" in a rather general signification; and if we do that we can edit together a nice little collection of poetical examples.
The butterfly was regarded by the Greeks especially as the emblem of the soul and therefore of immortality.

We have several Greek remains, picturing the butterfly as perched upon a skull, thus symbolizing life beyond death.

And the metamorphosis of the insect is, you know, very often referred to in Greek philosophy.
