"I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough, without ever having felt sorry for itself."
The quote "I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop dead from a bough. Without ever having felt sorry for itself.", by D.H Lawrence coveys the idea that a person who has reached a very successful point in life will not be displeased when death is brought upon him. A bough is a large branch which refers to a large title or position in life. The small bird can be seen a person in the sense that every person is a small part of the general population. When the bird falls dead from the bough it signifies a death. After reaching such a successful point in life a person would not feel sorry for himself, but rather for his friends and family who must cope with his absence.
The brilliance came
in a single flash, a chain
of atoms exploding, as one breath
was gulped down, like an opium
of the heart.
There's nothing
rough about this, no heather on the moors,
no mournful cries, as the dumbstruck
God of love simply smiles
a crooked, crooked smile,
eyes laughing
in the moment
where reason is swallowed
in a sleep.
Through every word uttered,
and every syllable, hurled
at breakneck speed, beyond--
she dances in circles, around the nerves
that speak louder than her own silence,
as is she could pull off the sheet
between these two odd, bleeding moments,
and reconcile the mere technicalities of possession.
Nymph, tripping from shadow to shadow,
she abandons what she's left behind before,
leaves this haven on a lark, the dark
smudging behind her, confident
that nothing burns brighter than this--
never mind the ashes.- Blue_Summer
