Inaction, no falsifying dream Between my hooked head and hooked feet: Or in sleep rehearse perfect kills and eat. The convenience of the high trees! The airs buoyancy and the suns ray Are of advantage to me; And the earths face upward for my inspection. My feet are locked upon the rough bark. It took the whole of Creation To produce my foot, my each feather: Now I hold Creation in my foot Or fly up, and revolve it all slowly - I kill where I please because it is all mine. There is no sophistry in my body: My manners are tearing off heads - The allotment of death. For the one path of my flight is direct Through the bones of the living. No arguments assert my right: The sun is behind me. Nothing has changed since I began. My eye has permitted no change. I am going to keep things like this. The convenience of the high trees!The air’s buoyancy and the sun’s rayAre of advantage to me;And the earth’s face upward for my inspection.高耸的树木给了我便利空气的浮力和太阳的光焰都对我十分有利；大地的脸蛋朝上，任我检阅。 The allotment of death. For the one path of my flight is direct Through the bones of the living. No arguments assert my right: 生死由我掌控。 我飞翔的目的清晰而唯一 直扑猎物，粉身碎骨。 我的权利不容争辩： The sun is behind me. Nothing has changed since I began. My eye has permitted no change. I am going to keep things like this. 上帝护佑着我。 自我降生，一切如旧 我的眼睛不允许任何改变。 我打算就这样维持这一切。 　In this poem, Hughes writes in the imagined voice of a hawk.The hawk, in other words, is personified. The hawks tone of voice is proud, arrogant, he thinks of himself as master of his world. Indeed, like a God, he has power over life and death. His whole life is spent either being in sleep or hunting for prey. And even when he is asleep he dreams of mastering his hunting and killing technique. In other words
