“The conditions of a solitary bird are five:

The first, that it flies to the highest point;

The second, that it does not suffer for company,

not even of its own kind;

the third, that it aims its beak to the skies;

the fourth, that it does not have a definite color;

the fifth, that it sings very softly.”

By San Juan de la Cruz, “Dichos de Luz y Amor”
