David Bottoms Quotes

We Have All Seen Them Circling Pastures, Have Looked Up From The Mouth Of A Barn, A Pine Clearing, The Fences Of Our Own Backyards, And Have Stood Amazed By The One Slow Wing Beat, The Endless Dihedral Drift. But I Had Never Seen So Many So Close, Every Limb Of The Dead Oak Feathered Black; And I Cut The Engine Let The River Grab The Jon Boat And Pull It Toward The Tree ... Then As I Passed Under Their Dream, I Saw For The First Time Its Soft Countenance The Raw Fleshy Jowls, Wrinkled And Generous Like The Faces Of The Very Old Who Have Grown To Empathize With Everything. And I Drifted Away From Them, Reluctant, Looking Back At Their Roost, Calling Them What They Are- Transfiguring Angels Who Pray Over The Leaf Graves Of The Anonymous Lost With Mercy Enough To Consume Us All And Give Us Wings.
