Robinson Jeffers - The Bird With The Dark PlumesRobinson Jeffers - The Bird With The Dark Plumes
Work rating: Low


The bird with the dark plumes in my blood, That never for one moment however I patched my truces Consented to make peace with the people, It is pitiful now to watch her pleasure In a breath of        tempest Breaking the sad promise of spring. Are these that morose hawk`s wings, vaulting, a mere        mad swallow`s, The snow-shed peak, the violent precipice? Poor outlaw that would not value their praise do you        prize their blame? "Their liking" she said "was a long creance, But let them be kind enough to hate me that opens the        sky." It is almost as foolish my poor falcon To want hatred as to want love; and harder to win.
