"You look like you've eaten the sun, like you drank so much sunlight you're drowning in it."

The Swallow
Theophile Gautier
I am a swallow, nothing like a dove;
My nature is to fly eternally,
The nest in which the pigeons find their love
Covered from sight, would be like death to me
I live in battlements and parapets,
When autumn falls I fly on the wind's breath,
Leaving black towers for snow-white minarets,
Fly to the constant blue: no rain, no death
No sky can hold me, nothing stays my flight,
Each land I pass through never less the stranger,
My absent friends living within my soul.
My love's eternal if my wing is light
And, unforgotten, this eternal ranger
Across the world stays steadfast to my goal.
