The flight of the orchard tiercel on March 28th is a beautiful example of lyricism! Ending with what Baker seems to be looking for since the first pages: With the whole valley to choose from, he had s chosen to come back to the orchard where I was standing. There is a bond: impalpable, indefinable, but it exists. (p. 179)

[The dark brown tiercel] has found a meaning for me, but I do not know what it is. I am his slow and moribund companion, Caliban to his Ariel. (p. 177)
