it dips into the valley; growing vaguer and larger; runs; quicker than the 

wind; uphill; smaller and darker on the soft and dry grass; and rushes to 

meet its bird when the bird swoops to a branch and clings。 

     In the great bird country of the north…eastern littoral of England; about 

Holy Island and the basaltic rocks; the shadows of the high birds are the 

movement and   the pulse   of the   solitude。         Where   there are no   woods   to 

make a shade; the sun suffers the brilliant eclipse of flocks of pearl…white 

sea birds; or of the solitary creature driving on the wind。            Theirs is always 

a surprise of flight。       The clouds go one way; but the birds go all ways: 

in   from   the   sea   or   out;   across   the   sands;   inland   to   high   northern   fields; 

where the crops are late by a month。             They fly so high that though they 

have the shadow of the sun under their wings; they have the light of the 

earth there also。      The waves and the coast shine up to them; and they fly 

between lights。 

     Black flocks and white they gather their delicate shadows up; 〃swift as 

dreams;〃 at the end of their flight into the clefts; platforms; and ledges of 

harbourless rocks dominating the North Sea。                They subside by degrees; 

with lessening and shortening volleys of wings and cries until there comes 

the general shadow of night wherewith the little shadows close; complete。 

     The evening is the shadow of another flight。            All the birds have traced 

wild and innumerable paths across the mid…May earth; their shadows have 

fled all day faster than her streams; and have overtaken all the movement 

of her wingless creatures。         But now it is the flight of the very earth that 

carries her clasped shadow from the sun。
