x "… Like birds that get used to walking
and become heavier and heavier, as if in free fall:
the earth sucks out of their long claws
the brave memory of all
the great things that happen up high,
and turns them almost into leaves that hold
close to the ground …"
— Rainer Maria Rilke, from “Fragments of Lost Days”, in The Book of Images, translated by E. Snow
