Hurt Hawks Suffering Quotes

Squeamish Shmoopers might want to look away from these lines. Although couched in poetic words ("broken pillar" and such), this hawk's wound is straight up gnarly. What's a hawk with a wing that destroyed? A goner, is what. His spirit may still be fighting, but the wing signals the ultimate defeat.

What a contrast, right? The sky forever or a few days of pain and famine. Life for a hawk is vast, free, and oh so infinite. But injury grounds him, cuts his days down to a few, his experience to famine and pain. These last days are going to stink, big time.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. You get used to living large, so it's a blow to be so reduced to pain and incapacity.
