Barry Lopez Quotes

The Evening Before I Departed I Stood On The Rim Of A Lagoon On Isla Rabida. Flamingos Rode On Its Dark Surface Like Pink Swans, Apparently Asleep. Small, Curved Feathers, Shed From Their Breasts, Drifted Away From Them Over The Water On A Light Breeze. I Did Not Move For An Hour. It Was A Moment Of Such Peace, Every Troubled Thread In A Human Spirit Might Have Uncoiled And Sorted Itself Into A Graceful Order. Other Flamingos Stood In The Shallows With Diffident Elegance In The Falling Light, Not Feeding But Only Staring Off Toward The Ocean. They Seemed A Kind Of Animal I Had Never Quite Seen Before.
