Brief Sample Because it was summer, nobody considered the motive of the birds. They came inland in strict formation and they seemed to know exactly where they were going. They crossed the light-house and the twin piers and the moored fishing fleet and turned West aver the ship-yards and the factories, where the town begins and the river has cut through rock into coal-seams and runs grey because there is not enough tide or current to cleanse it. Black Back and Black Cap and Herring Gull they flew on and nobody thought why; for it was August and their wings were white and the sun was shining on the grey river and the dark buildings and the big smoky town looked almost pleasant in the sun.
