March Calf
by Ted Hughes
学习啦在线学习网 Right from the start he is dressed in his best - his blacks and his whites
Little Fauntleroy - quiffed and glossy,
A Sunday suit, a wedding natty get-up,
学习啦在线学习网 Standing in dunged straw
Under cobwebby beams, near the mud wall,
学习啦在线学习网 Half of him legs,
Shining-eyed, requiring nothing more
学习啦在线学习网 But that mother's milk come back often.
学习啦在线学习网 Everything else is in order, just as it is.
Let the summer skies hold off, for the moment.
This is just as he wants it.
学习啦在线学习网 A little at a time, of each new thing, is best.
Too much and too sudden is too frightening -
When I block the light, a bulk from space,
To let him in to his mother for a suck,
He bolts a yard or two, then freezes,
学习啦在线学习网 Staring from every hair in all directions,
Ready for the worst, shut up in his hopeful religion,
学习啦在线学习网 A little syllogism
With a wet blue-reddish muzzle, for God's thumb.
You see all his hopes bustling
As he reaches between the worn rails towards
The topheavy oven of his mother.
He trembles to grow, stretching his curl-tip tongue -
学习啦在线学习网 What did cattle ever find here
To make this dear little fellow
学习啦在线学习网 So eager to prepare himself?
学习啦在线学习网 He is already in the race, and quivering to win -
学习啦在线学习网 His new purpled eyeball swivel-jerks
学习啦在线学习网 In the elbowing push of his plans.
学习啦在线学习网 Hungry people are getting hungrier,
Butchers developing expertise and markets,
But he just wobbles his tail - and glistens
学习啦在线学习网 Within his dapper profile
Unaware of how his whole lineage
学习啦在线学习网 Has been tied up.
学习啦在线学习网 He shivers for feel of the world licking his side.
He is like an ember - one glow
Of lighting himself up
学习啦在线学习网 With the fuel of himself, breathing and brightening.
Soon he'll plunge out, to scatter his seething joy,
To be present at the grass,
学习啦在线学习网 To be free on the surface of such a wideness,
To find himself himself. To stand. To moo.
Mountain Lion
by D H Lawrence
学习啦在线学习网 Climbing through the January snow, into the Lobo canyon
Dark grow the spruce-trees, blue is the balsam, water sounds still unfrozen, and the trail is still evident.
Men!
Two men!
Men! The only animal in the world to fear!
They hesitate.
We hesitate.
学习啦在线学习网 They have a gun.
We have no gun.
学习啦在线学习网 Then we all advance, to meet.
Two Mexicans, strangers, emerging out of the dark and snow and inwardness of the Lobo valley.
What are they doing here on this vanishing trail?
What is he carrying?
学习啦在线学习网 Something yellow.
A deer?
Qué tiene, amigo?
León -
He smiles, foolishly, as if he were caught doing wrong.
And we smile, foolishly, as if we didn't know.
He is quite gentle and dark-faced.
It is a mountain lion,
A long, long slim cat, yellow like a lioness.
Dead.
He trapped her this morning, he says, smiling foolishly.
Lift up her face,
Her round, bright face, bright as frost.
Her round, fine-fashioned head, with two dead ears;
学习啦在线学习网 And stripes in the brilliant frost of her face, sharp, fine dark rays,
Dark, keen, fine rays in the brilliant frost of her face.
Beautiful dead eyes.
学习啦在线学习网 Hermoso es!
They go out towards the open;
We go on into the gloom of Lobo.
And above the trees I found her lair,
学习啦在线学习网 A hole in the blood-orange brilliant rocks that stick up, a little cave.
学习啦在线学习网 And bones, and twigs, and a perilous ascent.
So, she will never leap up that way again, with the yellow flash of a mountain lion's long shoot!
And her bright striped frost-face will never watch any more, out of the shadow of the cave in the blood-orange rock,
Above the trees of the Lobo dark valley-mouth!
Instead, I look out.
And out to the dim of the desert, like a dream, never real;
学习啦在线学习网 To the snow of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, the ice of the mountains of Picoris,
学习啦在线学习网 And near across at the opposite steep of snow, green trees motionless standing in snow, like a Christmas toy.
And I think in this empty world there was room for me and a mountain lion.
学习啦在线学习网 And I think in the world beyond, how easily we might spare a million or two of humans
学习啦在线学习网 And never miss them.
Yet what a gap in the world, the missing white frost-face of that slim yellow mountain lion!
