John Burnside
For a bird, especially for the more musically inventive, song is the defining characteristic, the primary way by which it knows itself and is known by others. To lose its species song is to lose not just its identity but some part of its presence in the world.

I look askance at any movement which assists...Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman...We go after legacies because we just know that...If you're doing this because you feel like you have...Each day offers us the gift of being a special...I have noticed that nothing I never said...
