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. Gary Mitchell quoted this poem as a result of his increased mental capacity from being in contact with the galactic barrier.
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
(TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before")
- 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")
