That affable familiar ghost Which nightly gulls him with intelligence.
One sparrow is worth a thousand gulls, When it sings. The gull sits on chimney-tops. He mocks the guinea, challenges The crow, inciting various modes. The sparrow requites one, without intent.
The gull sees farthest who flies highest
The only true law is that which leads to freedom.
The gulls who scorn perfection for the sake of travel go nowhere, slowly. Those who put aside travel for the sake of perfection go anywhere, instantly.
Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight - how to get from shore to food and back again
In fact, to gull a fool seems to me an exploit worthy of a witty man.
A falcon hovers at the edge of the sky. Two gulls drift slowly up the river. Vulnerable while they ride the wind,they coast and glide with ease. Dew is heavy on the grass below,the spider's web is ready. Heaven's ways include the human:among a thousand sorrows, I stand alone.
For most gulls it was not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight.
blind wantons like the gulls who scream And rip the edge off any ideal or dream.
So please get your rags And your polishing jars, Somebody has to go polish the stars.
By fools, knaves fatten; by bigots, priests are well clothed; every knave finds a gull.
