Explore "The Man-Of-War Hawk (Sea Pieces)" by Herman Melville on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Yon black man-of-war-hawk that wheels in the light / O'er the black ship's white sky-s'l, sunned cloud to the sight, / Have we low-flyers wings to ascend to his height?
No arrow can reach him; nor thought can attain / To the placid supreme in the sweep of his reign.
