    Picking at the rope-knouts of their scourging;
    Snatching after us who smote them, brother,
    Pawing us who dealt them war and madness.

    Geoff Carter [sarcastically]: Yes, it reminded you of a great big, beautiful bird, didn’t it?
    Bonnie: No, it didn’t at all. That’s why it’s so wonderful. It’s really a flying human being.
