Excerpt from Signs and Seasons I was looking intently at the clouds to see which way they moved, when the birds came into my field Of vision. I should never have seen them had they not crossed the precise spot upon which my eye was fixed. As it was near sundown, they were probably launched for an all-night pull. They were going with great speed, and as they swayed a little this way and that, they suggested a slender, all but in visible, aerial serpent cleaving the ether. What a highway was pointed out up there! An easy grade from the Gulf to Hudson's Bay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
