A friend is like an eagle; you don't find them flying in flocks

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.

The day is done, and the darkness, Falls from the wings of Night, As a feather is wafted downward, From an eagle in his flight

You can put wings on a pig, but you don't make it an eagle.
