Explore "Dead Cow Farm" by Robert Graves on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
An ancient saga tells us how / In the beginning the First Cow / (For nothing living yet had birth / But Elemental Cow on earth) / Began to lick cold stones and mud: / Under her warm tongue flesh and blood / Blossomed, a miracle to believe: / And so was Adam born, and Eve. / Here now is chaos once again, / Primeval mud, cold stones and rain. / Here flesh decays and blood drips red, / And the Cow's dead, the old Cow's dead.
