One of the very worst things I've ever read in my whole entire life is this poem by D.H.
lawrence called Bat at evening sitting on this terrace, he's in Florence when the sun from the west beyond Pisa, beyond the mountains of Carrara departs and the world is taken by surprise.
D.H.
lawrence actually wrote some really great poems about animals, about goats and elephants and even snakes.
Swallows gave way to bats, but something about bats just breaks his brain.
Bats and an uneasy creeping in one's scalp as the bats swoop overhead.
This poem is 100% trash talking.
These creatures that disgust him.
Bats.
Creatures that hang themselves up like an old rag to sleep.
