Jump to: navigation, search For other meanings of "Nightingale", please see Nightingale (disambiguation). Nightingale Woman is a poem by Phineas Tarbolde, written in 1996 on the Canopus Planet. It was said to be one of the most passionate love sonnets of its time. An excerpt of the sonnet, found on page 387, read: My love has wings, slender, feathered things with grace in upswept curve and tapered tip Gary Mitchell quoted this poem as a result of his increased mental capacity from being in contact with the galactic barrier. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before") [edit] Background It really was a poem, but it was written by Gene Roddenberry about his airplane back when he was an aviator. The first line of the poem, "My love has wings" was depicted underneath a picture of Rita Hayworth on a calendar seen in DS9: "Little Green Men". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
