Silent Noon

~~~~~~~~

Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

~~~~~~~~

YOUR hands lie open in the long, fresh grass,— The finger-points look through like rosy blooms: Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms ’Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass. All round our nest, far as the eye can pass, Are golden kingcup-fields with silver edge Where the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn hedge. ’Tis visible silence, still as the hour-glass. Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky,— So this wing’d hour is dropped to us from above. Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower, This close-companioned inarticulate hour When twofold silence was the song of love

Look at @ 2 O'Clock and you will see a Red tailed Hawk…

Interesting Facts:

The raspy cry of the Red-tailed Hawk is typically used in movies to represent any

eagle or hawk anywhere in the world.

A Red-tailed Hawk can spot a mouse from a height of 100 feet.

Males and females perform a courtship ritual in which they dive and roll in the

sky. They will even lock talons and fall together a distance before splitting apart.
