He will watch the hawk with an indifferent eye  Or pitifully;

Nor on those eagles that so feared him, now  Will strain his brow;

Weapons men use, stone, sling and strong-thewed bow  He will not know.

This aristocrat, superb of all instinct,  With death close linked,

Had paced the enormous cloud, almost had won  War on the sun;

Till now, like Icarus mid-ocean-frowned,  Hands, wings are found.
