By the time Woolf was writing, Americans were also using the word marbles to
mean “wits”, and it seems very likely that the reason for the slang was the
longstanding metaphor by which furniture, or lumber, meant knowledge. If you
“lose your marbles”, you lose your wits; your birds are flown.
從https://goo.gl/NGqyWh
“This is why you’re losing your marbles”看到的句子，說明
lose your marbles的意含來源。
我不懂是為什麼說your birds are flown?????
不合語法的句子，請高手釋疑，謝謝！
