AUSPEX, by ROBERT FROST Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Once in a california sierra Last Line: That there was anything I couldn’t be Subject(s): Eagles | |||
Once in a California Sierra I was swooped down upon when I was small, And measured, but not taken after all, By a great eagle bird in all its terror. Such auspices are very hard to read. My parents when I ran to them averred I was rejected by the royal bird As one who would not make a Ganymede. Not find a barkeep unto Jove in me? I have remained resentful to this day When any but myself presumed to say That there was anything I couldn't be. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ONE TO NOTHING by CAROLYN KIZER FOR THE LAST WOLVERINE by JAMES DICKEY THE EAGLE OF THE BLUE by HERMAN MELVILLE THE EAGLE; A FRAGMENT by ALFRED TENNYSON THE DALLIANCE OF THE EAGLES by WALT WHITMAN THE EAGLE AND THE MOLE by ELINOR WYLIE |
