Alicia,
These animal poems have a great deal of meaning for me in these dreadful times. I think of Swift who used horses in Gulliver to contrast with human behaviour. I will need to read them slowly but the long Horses poem that you posted moved me more than I can say.
I find that the simplicity of animals is almost like a message. Muir has received the message and passes it on in a poignant but strong way.
That goes too for the longer Horses poem posted by Clive.
Thank you so much for all of the poems. I find he is the right poet for me tonight.
best wishes,
Janet
