Poet: D.H. Lawrence
Poem: Self-pity

I think this poem has many meanings and values that could be derived from it. One that is most important is how self-pity is a creation of man. As people we create many feelings and emotions that make us hurt, or even times mentally unstable, and for what reason. It is not necessary! Self-pity, greed, jealousy have no reason to exist.

About this poem I can only say that this man was one hell of a writer.
A two-line poem with so much depth, and words that is so powerful.
Every time I face a hard decision in my life, I refer to this poem for
inspiration and comfort. It has even helped me in this time of my life,
getting through the feeling of a great loss. Lawrence was not just a poet
but an artist with typewriter and paper as his pallet. Expressions like
wordsmith would not even begin to describe his talent.

How do we know the bird did not feel sorry for itself?
Anyone who has ever had a puppy or a dog knows this.
