As quoted in Meditations on Nature, Meditations on Silence: Out of the clouds I hear a faint bark, as of a faraway dog. It is strange how the world cocks its ear to that sound, wondering. Soon it is louder: the honk of geese, invisible, but coming on. The flock emerges from the low clouds, a tattered banner of birds, dipping and rising, blown up and blown down, blown together and blown apart, but advancing, the wind wrestling lovingly with each winnowing wing. When the flock is a blur in the far sky I hear the last honk, sounding taps for summer. It is warm behind the driftwood now, for the wind has gone with the geese. So would I--if I were the wind. - Aldo Leopold, from Sand County Almanac ------- Title: Four Eagles Original: Acrylic Ink on Board (Sold) Limited Edition Print Signed and Numbered 11 x 8.5 roderick-maciver-arts/products/four-eagles-limited-edition-print
