how can it be    Â
Â
           as the mind moves the tongueÂ
Â
   moves     Â
Â
Â
Â
somewhere near the flock a falcon
Â
    is  (the flock
Â
loses no information)Â Â
Â
Â
Â
How can it be
Â
thousands of birds     Â
Â
how can it be    at a time
Â
                   turning
Â
Â
Â
wing and wing  (the mind
Â
of a country) at one time
Â
thinking.
