[Vwoolf] larks

[Toni McNaron]

I agree with Michael Davis in that both the bird and the playful 
gaminess is going on in the reference.  I also think about the fact that 
larks, when they flourished, were often the very first birds to greet 
the dawn, hence they were seen as excited about another day in which 
they could make beautiful music, fly around, eat bugs, etc.  So a 
imagine larks as exuberant, hence perhaps how the verb "to lark" came 
into existence in the first place.
