Classic and Contemporary Poetry

FLAW by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY

First Line: TO GIVE ME ITS BRIGHT PLUMES, THEY SHOT A JAY
Last Line: THE UNIVERSE, SO WHOLE WITHIN MY MIND
Subject(s): BIRDS;
To give me its bright plumes they shot ajay:
On the fresh jewels, blood! Oh, sharp remorsel
The glittering symbols of the little corse
I buried where the wood was noisome, blind,
Praying that I might nevermore betray
The universe, so whole within my mind.
