One of the poets featured in the current Poetic Likeness Exhibit -- featuring photographs and paintings and sculptures of poets along with a few favorite lines -- at the National Portrait Gallery is Robert Penn Warren (1905-1989). Although I hugely admire Warren's novel, All the King's Men, I am not very familiar with Warren as a poet. The gallery posted, beside Warren's photo, a few lines about a hawk. And I went searching online to find more. The exhibit's quote was from Warren's "Mortal Limit" but my search led first to "Evening Hawk" -- with a first stanza bright with geometry; I offer that stanza here.
