Explore "The Blue Jay (Birds)" by D.H. Lawrence on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The blue jay with a crest on his head / Comes round the cabin in the snow. / He runs in the snow like a bit of blue metal, / Turning his back on everything.
From the pine-tree that towers and hisses like a pillar of shaggy cloud / Immense above the cabin / Comes a strident laugh as we approach, this little black dog and I. / So halts the little black bitch on four spread paws in the snow / And looks up inquiringly into the pillar of cloud, / With a tinge of misgiving. / _Ca-a-a! _ comes the scrape of ridicule out of the tree.
