    Actually of course I did...I loved the way that he waxes rhapsodic for a while about the lightness of the bird and then acknowledges that the story doesn't end there -- that the seagull is also a greedy, voracious creature. What amazes him is how that rude hunger can become lightness. And so he doesn't see the world through rose-colored glasses so much as he has an excellent eye for those places in the world where there are indeed hidden roses.
