I’ve
wandered the world in search of life:
bird
by bird I’ve come to know the earth:
discovered
where fire flames aloft:
the
expenditure of energy
and
my disinterestedness were rewarded,
even
though no one paid me for it,
because
I received those wings in my soul
and
immobility never held me down.
–
Pablo Neruda (Chilean, 1904-1973)
from Art
of Birds
