"Flock"

It has been calculated that each copy of the Gutenburg Bible required the skins of 300 sheep.
I can see them squeezed into the holding pen behind the stone building where the printing press is housed.
All of them squirming around to find a little room and looking so much alike it would be nearly impossible to count them.
And there is no telling which one of them will carry the news that the Lord is a Shepherd, one of the few things they already know.
- Billy Collins
