OWLS
In the shadow of black yews, the owls stand in a row like alien gods, their red eyes darting. They are meditating. They will stand there motionless until the melancholy hour when, pushing down the slanting sun, the shadows settle into place. Their attitude teacher wise men that, in this world of ours, all tumult and movement are to be feared, for man, intoxicated by every fleeting shadow is always punished for his desire to roam.

? Charles Baudelaire, 1851
