About: Instinct
"A fierce unrest seethes at the core
Of all existing things:
It was the eager wish to soar
That gave the gods their wings.
. . . .
There throbs through all the worlds that are
This heart-beat not and strong,
And shaken systems, star by star,
Awake and glow in song."
Author: Donald Marquis (D.R.P. Marquis) ("Don Marquis")

Like instincts, unawares."

Compar'd, half-reasoning elephant, with thine!

Forever sep'rate, yet forever near!"

Sure never to o'er-shoot, but just to hit,
While still too wide or short in human wit."
