Diomedea exulans

The wind sails the open sea steered by the albatross that glides, falls, dances, climbs, hangs motionless in the fading light, touches the waves' towers, settles down in the disorderly element's seething mortar while the salt crowns it with laurels and the furious foam hisses, skims the waves with its great symphonic wings, leaving above the tempest a book that flies on forever: the statute of the wind.
