Question
This poem’s speaker bluntly states “The dawns ruin it” after describing a creature waiting under an oak bush who “remembers freedom” in a dream. The speaker of this poem claims that “you communal people” have forgotten “The wild God of the world,” though “Men that are dying” remember that “Intemperate and savage” deity in this poem. This poem, which first appeared in Cawdor and Other Poems, closes with an image of “the fierce rush: the night-herons by the flooded river cried fear at its rising / Before it was quite unsheathed from reality.” The speaker provides “the lead gift in the twilight” in this poem, whose author’s style of inhumanism is displayed in the claim “I’d sooner, except the penalties, kill a man than” the title animal, whose “broken pillar of the wing jags from the clotted shoulder.” For 10 points, name this Robinson Jeffers poem about a wounded bird of prey. ■END■
