The Eagle [5.16 Birds of a Feather]
(Marilyn)
The Eagle wasn't always the Eagle. The Eagle, before he became the Eagle, was
Yucatangee, the Talker. Yucatangee talked and talked. It talked so much it
heard only itself. Not the river, not the wind, not even the Wolf. The Raven
came and said "The Wolf is hungry. If you stop talking, you'll hear him. The
wind too. And when you hear the wind, you'll fly."
(Nadine Fleischman)
So he stopped talking.
(Marilyn)
And became its nature, the Eagle. The Eagle soared, and its flight said all it
needed to say.
