Roan Stallion -- Jeffers

This poem is kind of creepy, in its erotic relationship between a woman and a horse. The horse clearly represents the wildness of nature, its unpredictability and grandeur. The woman, California, basically falls in love with the horse because of its wild nature, but must kill it in the end. It is a tragic story (go figure!).
