of the great bird poets. This is an orgiastic firework display of common hens calling to the dawn, as seen from the height of the hill.The Exposed Nest by Robert Frost. The lines "We saw the risk we took in doing good,/but dared not spare to do the best we could/though harm should come of it" stay with me. It's about covering up an exposed bird's nest, but it could be about Iraq, Afghanistan . . .
