THE EAGLE AND THE MOLE

The Eagle and the Mole
Elinor Wylie

Avoid the reeking herd,
Shun the polluted flock,
Live like that stoic bird,
The Eagle of the rock.

The huddled warmth of crowds
Begets and fosters hate;
He keeps, above the clouds,
His cliff inviolate.

When flocks are folded warm,
And herds to shelter run,
He sails above the storm,
He stares into the sun.

If in the eagle's track
Your sinews cannot leap,
Avoid the lathered pack,
Turn from the steaming sheep.

If you would keep your soul
from spotted sight or sound,
Live like the velvet mole;
Go borrow underground.

And there hold intercourse
With roots of trees and stones
With rivers at their source,
And disembodied bones.

  1. As claimed by Stanford Medical, It is really the one and ONLY reason this country's women live 10 years longer and weigh 42 pounds less than us.

    (And really, it is not about genetics or some secret-exercise and EVERYTHING about "HOW" they are eating.)

    P.S, I said "HOW", and not "what"...
