I don’t think it is within the realm of the possible for Mr. Momaday to write anything that I would not find beautiful.
He brings the histories and legends of the Native peoples to the Europeans in ways accessible to them, whether in prose or poem or passage.
When one reaches a certain age To An Aged Bear strikes a ringing chord: “Hold hard this infirmity. / It defines you. You are old.”
His poetry of the land, of the people-whether us or of another culture, another country, are not to be missed.
