Once I spoke the language of the flowers, Once I understood each word the caterpillar said, Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings, And shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed.

Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed.” — Shel Silverstein · Where the Sidewalk Ends
