Undulatus upon which Kit included the following sentiment: Oh, striated sentinels of the upper air, You gather in ranks like a silent parade, You do not hurry — the earth will turn for you; You simply drift, and the world tilts its head to watch. This example of undulatus was spotted over Oahu, Hawaii, US.
