I saw through half-shut eyelids a vulture wheeling<br> high up in heaven,<br>And presently it passed again, but lower and nearer, its orbit<br> narrowing,<br> I understood then<br>That I was under inspection. I lay death-still and heard the flight-<br> feathers<br>Whistle above me and make their circle and come nearer.<br>I could see the naked red head between the great wings<br>Bear downward staring. I said, 'My dear bird, we are wasting time<br> here.<br>These old bones will still work; they are not for you.' But how<br> beautiful<br> he looked, gliding down<br>On those great sails; how beautiful he looked, veering away in the<br> sea-light<br> over the precipice. I tell you solemnly<br>That I was sorry to have disappointed him. To be eaten by that beak<br> and<br> become part of him, to share those wings and those eyes--<br>What a sublime end of one's body, what an enskyment; what a life<br> after death.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Robinson+Jeffers">Robinson Jeffers</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=509116" data-title="Vulture de Robinson Jeffers" data-description="I had walked since dawn and lay down to rest on a bare hillside Above the ocean.
