Six Weeks Old
HE is so small he does not know
The summer sun, the winter snow;
The spring that ebbs and comes again,
All this is far beyond his ken.
A little world he feels and sees:
His mother's arms, his mother's knees;
He hides his face against her breast,
And does not care to learn the rest.
Christopher Morley
Poetry is not a civilizer, rather the reverse, for great poetry appeals to the most primitive instincts.
~Robinson Jeffers
