In the poem, the poet was quite fascinated with these creatures. He stopped his boat and allowed It to drift so that he would be able to gaze at them a little longer. As the poet gazed at these vultures he started to analyze them and see them in a different light. Bottoms started to see them as the beautiful and majestic creatures they are. “The black leaves shined, the pink fruit blossomed red, ugly as a human heart. Then, as I passed under their dream, I saw for the first time it’s soft countenance,” His view of these birds turned from fascination to admiration. He saw these birds as angels well in his words 'dwarfed transfiguring angels.’ Bottoms called them this because when you look at them you don’t see nothing significant about them
