A SEAGULL having bolted down too large a fish, burst its deep gullet-bag and lay down on the shore to die.
The Lady Moon is my lover, My friends are the oceans four, The heavens have roofed me over, And the dawn is my golden door I would liefer follow the condor Or the seagull, soaring from ken, Than bury my godhead yonder In the dust of the whirl of men.
About their heads the seagulls whirled and shrieked.
