Return to her, and fifty men dismiss’d?
No, rather I abjure all roofs, and choose
To wage against the enmity o’ th’ air,
To be a comrade with the wolf and owl, –
Necessity’s sharp pinch!

"Turn each of your thoughts into a bird
And let them fly to the other world.
One is an owl, one is a falcon, one is a crow.
Each one is different from the others
But they are all the same in silence." (Rumi)

"And when the owl stirred, a fine dust
fell from its wings. I was
silent then. And felt
the owl quaver."

A pretty magical owl is basically all one wishes for in a day (side effects include wonder, a woosh feeling on the top of one's head, and dead mice - hey, it's still an owl).

Not present on the Year
At any other period –
When March is scarcely here" (Emily Dickinson)

‘The winter owl banked just in time to pass
And save herself from breaking window glass.
And her wings straining suddenly aspread
Caught color from the last of evening red’
