Under the Volcano

[alice malice]

There the bird was still, a long-winged dark furious shape, a little world
of fierce despairs and dreams, and memories of floating high above
Popocatepetl, mile on mile, to drop through the wilderness and alight,
watching, in the timberline ghosts of ravaged mountain trees. With hurried
quivering hands Yvonne began to unfasten the cage. The bird fluttered out
of it and alighted at her feet, hesitated, took flight to the roof of El
Petate, then abruptly flew off through the dusk. . . up soaring, with a
sudden cleaving of pinions into the deep dark blue pure sky above, in which
at that moment appeared one star.

On this day in 1947 Malcolm Lowry's *Under the Volcano* was published.
