- When Rhayader had sailed away, Fritha had remained alone at the little lighthouse on the Great Marsh, taking care of the birds, waiting for she knew not what.

- And so, when one sunset she heard the high-pitched, well-remembered note cried from the heavens, it brought no instant of false hope to her heart.

- This moment it seemed she had lived before many times.

They said if you saw the flying wild goose you'd be saved. It's a sort of good luck omen.
