    Within the shelter of black yews
    The owls in ranks are ranged apart
    Like foreign gods, whose eyeballs dart
    Red fire. They meditate and muse.

    Without a stir they will remain
    Till, in its melancholy hour,
    Thrusting the level sun from power,
    The shade establishes its reign.

    Their attitude instructs the sage,
    Content with what is near at hand,
    To shun all motion, strife, and rage.

    Men, crazed with shadows that they chase,
    Bear, as a punishment, the brand
    Of having wished to change their place.

    - Charles Baudelaire
