#78: The Parliament of Fowls
[working with the photo titled "The Wide Geese Start Along with Crows on City Wall"]
The wall at the right looks like the wall on Skull Island, built to keep King Kong from snacking on the terrified natives. It's an admirable resting place for birds--a formidable monolith that might be a shard of Nebuchadnezzar II's palace at Babylon--with roosting room for a million crows.
Lee Ka-sing describes the geese he has in mind (in the photo at the left) as "wide"--as in "wide-bodied jet airplane." But knowing his cunning, he may simply be toughing out a typo; he may have meant that his geese were "wild" rather than "wide.". Perhaps they are both. Maybe his "wide" geese have wingspans like albatrosses.
Nothing is better than birds flying--and touching down to rest. I wish I could do both.
