I am the falcon of the spirit world, Escaped out of highest heaven Who out of desire of the hunt, Am fallen into earthly form Of the Mount Kaf am I the Simorg, Whom the net of Being holds imprisoned Of Paradise am I the Peacock, Who has escaped from his nest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CRUEL FALCON by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE WHOLE SOUL by PHILIP LEVINE I KNOW MY SOUL by CLAUDE MCKAY HONORING THE SAND; IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH CAMPBELL by ROBERT BLY THE CHINESE PEAKS; FOR DONALD HALL by ROBERT BLY THE LIFE OF TOWNS: TOWN OF THE EXHUMATION by ANNE CARSON TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
