Explore "Eagle in New Mexico (Birds)" by D.H. Lawrence on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Towards the sun, towards the south-west / A scorched breast. / A scorched breast, breasting the sun like an answer, / Like a retort.
An eagle at the top of a low cedar-bush / On the sage-ash desert / Reflecting the scorch of the sun from his breast; / Eagle, with the sickle dripping darkly above.
