Tachycineta in Greek means
moving quickly; albilinea in
Latin means white line.

Of all the birds that swim the air

I’d rather be the swallow;

And, summer days, when days were fair,

I’d follow, follow, follow

The hurrying clouds across the sky,

And with the singing winds I’d fly.
(Nathan Haskell Dole)
