“My soul leapt out of me high atop that golden perch. As I spiraled down, my heart fluttered like a caged bird with clipped wings. My body dropped into the raging sea below.”
Horace’s soul is represented as that of a falcon. When Horace decides to leap to his death, the soul leaves in defiance of the act.
