‘Higher still and higher
From the earth thou springest
Like a cloud of fire;
The blue deep thou wingest,
And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest.’
From ‘To a Skylark’ (1820), a poem by English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Stratocumulus spotted over Hartlepool, County Durham, England by Pete Luther (Member 53,263), who compared it to ‘a huge bird flying towards our factory’.
