Twenty year ago when the Peconic Puffin was a printed weekly newsletter, one of the regular features was "Puffin Poetry"...essentially a quote of the week (when a Puffin had said something worth quoting.) The attributes that qualified something could be anything wonderful...an elegant statement, a hilarious quip, the heartfelt threatening of young children...anything. This just in:
"That svelte dragonfly wing was just not fitting with my visual concept of 4 SqM, that's burned into the visual cortex of all us wind-addled seabirds."
-McPhilly, commenting on The Far Side of Napeague.
Most eloquent puffinspeak, sir! (I shall probably steal "svelte dragonfly wing" and use it as my own in a future post. Too good!)
