An unknown species flies across the moon during nocturnal migration.

“But if each bird in his nocturnal passage were as luminous as a meteor, how the heavens would blaze during the migrating season, and how wonderful would seem their journeyings to and fro.” -Orin Libby, 1899.

A yellow flower with green leaves and dark stem. The leaves are wet from dew, and the meadow is a blur in the background.

John Steinbeck. The Grapes of Wrath, 1939.
Sure, cried the tenant men, but it's our land. We measured it and broke it up. We were born on it, and we got killed on it, died on it. Even if it's no good, it's still ours. That's what makes it ours - being born on it, working it, dying on it. That makes ownership, not a paper with numbers on it. We're sorry. It's not us. It's the monster. The bank isn't like a man. Yes, but the bank is only made of men. No, you're wrong there - quite wrong there. The bank is something else than men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it. The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's the monster. Men made it, but they can't control it.

Sarah Gibson. Swifts and Us, 2021.
The breeders start adding a few feathers to the nests they made last year and sit companionably together. Their bond is renewed with hours of mutual preening; they are particularly attentive to those parts they cannot reach themselves, such as the throat. They make soft sounds to each other, 'les cris intimes, doux et discret'* as Swiss ornithologists have described it. Breeding gets underway soon after the pair is reunited. Their sexual habits are legendary: the swift is the only bird known to mate on the wing. People were sceptical * 'intimate cries, soft and hushed'

Philip Pullman. The Amber Spyglass, 2000.
He went outside and found Lyra standing still, weeping, with Pantalaimon as a wolf raising his face to the black sky. She was quite silent. The only light came from the pale reflection in the snow-bank of the remains of the fire, and that in turn was reflected from her wet cheeks, and her tears found their own reflection in Will's eyes, and so those photons wove the two together in a silent web.
