Canticle

Wings own
the bird (not otherwise)

So also songs own
the bird (and not otherwise)

Wings make the bird
weigh and conquer the heights

As its songs make it grasp
and live eternity and profundity

Thus by this we can know
what make a bird a bird-

The wings
the songs—

The voice and motion
of what we call spirit
