Over the sea in stormy weather. run for land, and you have it all to yourself, the sky full of rain and lightning, and the clouds under your wings. Once offEmer Cape I danced with the waterspouts... It takes everything to fly. Everything you are, everything you have. And so if you go down, you go down whole. And over the sea, if you go down, that's it, who's to know, who cares? I don't want to be buried in the ground." The idea made him shiver a little. I could see the shudder in his long, heavy, bronze-and-black wing feathers.
