Birds become visible and audible before the sun rises and the world wakes, a netherworld neither dark nor light, out of time. The anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet of 'The Wanderer had a word for it, ūhta, 'the hour before dawn', as he travelled by winter, watching 'the sea birds bathing, stretching out their wings.'
- The Wanderer via Philip Hoare (The Sea Inside).
