The poem begins assertively with the pronoun I.
The hawk is so secure in his position that he is
able to announce the fact that he is resting,
inaction, with his eyes closed. There is no
falsifying dream - he has nothing to hide -
between his hooked head and hooked feet. The
repetition of hooked puts the reader on guard - it

temperament, was his niche, receiving immediate
recognition from his audience. Hughes uses the
