“...looking up, I observed a very slight and graceful hawk, like⟳ a night-hawk, alternately soaring like⟳ a ripple and tumbling a rod or two over and over, showing the underside of its wings, which gleamed like⟳ a satin ribbon in the sun, or like⟳ the pearly inside of a shell. This sight reminded me of falconry and what nobleness and poetry are associated with that sport.”
