The
expression swan song is a half-century older than the ballet
Swan Lake, and the sentiment behind it is several millennia
older
than that.
One of the most pervasive of swan-legends is that a swan sings a
beautiful song just before dying. Though it is a superstition
with no
basis in fact, it was believed by Plato, Euripedes, Aristotle,
Senaca, and Cicero. (Pliny, among others, disbelieved it, and
the
truth of
the superstition was debated at various times.) References to the
legend are found in the works of many English writers,
including
Chaucer, who mentions it twice, Caxton, Shakespeare (twice), and
Spenser. Coleridge, ever the wit, commented notably that
Swans sing
before they die; 'twere no bad thing/ Did certain persons die
before they sing.
Despite the
age and pervasiveness of the legend, the phrase swan song
itself doesn't appear in English until 1831, when Carlyle
mentions it
literally in his Sartor Resartus; he used it figuratively to
mean 'the final work of a person's life' several years later.
Carlyle was
apparently translating the earlier German word
schwanengesang or schwanenlied, the existence of
which demonstrates
the
pervasiveness of the legend.
