Is every cormorant not, at heart, a creature wild and free? A beast that yearns for the open sky, to fly unfettered, unchained, to soar, to rise above the world and its mean, trivial woes. To stand for us, yes each and every one of us, as a symbol of a life to be lived, a horizon to reach and strive for. Is not this bird, this wild, untramelled child of creation, a part of us all in its ascent heavenwards, its winged leap towards the eternal? Shall we not all stand proud upon a tall pole and stretch our wings in the sun, phoenix-like, and raise our bills to the azure and the clouds, and from the depths of our being, from the very bottom of our infinite souls, bring forth unto the glory of creation that cry, that heartfelt call that stirs such passion as the world has ne'er before heard - that song of feathered liberty "A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-k-k-k-k-k-k!".
