    I already, and for weeks afterward, felt my nature the coarser for this part of my woodland experience, and was reminded that our life should be lived as tenderly and daintily as one would pluck a flower.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Flies from his hunching wings and beak—my heart,
    The blue kingfisher dives on you in fire.
