Theodore Roethke Quote

Over the gulfs of dream
Flew a tremendous bird
Further and further away
Into a moonless black,
Deep in the brain, far back.


"Night Crow," ll. 4-8 - The Lost Son and Other Poems (1948)


Over the gulfs of dream Flew a tremendous bird Further and further away Into a moonless black, Deep in the brain, far back.

Over the gulfs of dream Flew a tremendous bird Further and further away Into a moonless black, Deep in the brain, far back.

Over the gulfs of dream Flew a tremendous bird Further and further away Into a moonless black, Deep in the brain, far back.

Over the gulfs of dream Flew a tremendous bird Further and further away Into a moonless black, Deep in the brain, far back.
