HAREWOOD
S EAGULLS can never understand the importance of an airfield. They curiously observe the ritual as though wondering what all the fuss is about. The elaborate take-off and the careful landing, so proudly accomplished: the joining of hemispheres, one world in a dayspin are mocked as the seagull rises, soars over the crowd gaping at aeronautical tides. O lovely wing-bladed bird shearing’ blue air banners where is the menace of mountain to you, whose breast caresses wind like a gentle star? To a seagull-well, one flies. Is it so wonderful?
