A Whippoorwill in the Woods


Night after night, it was very nearly enough,
they said, to drive you crazy: a whippoorwill
in the woods repeating itself like the stuck groove
of an LP with a defect, and no way possible
(5) of turning the thing off.


And night after night, they said, in the insomniac
small hours the whipsawing voice of obsession
would have come in closer, the way a sick
thing does when it's done for—or maybe the reason
(10) was nothing more melodramatic


than a night-flying congregation of moths, lured in
in their turn by house-glow, the strange heat
of it—imagine the nebular dangerousness, if one
were a moth, the dark pockmarked with beaks, the great
(15) dim shapes, the bright extinction—


if moths are indeed, after all, what a whippoorwill
favors. Who knows? Anyhow, from one point of view
insects are to be seen as an ailment, moths above all:
the filmed-over, innumerable nodes of spun-out tissue
(20) untidying the trees, the larval


spew of such hairy hordes, one wonders what use
they can be other than as a guarantee no bird
goes hungry. We're like that. The webbiness,
the gregariousness of the many are what we can't abide.
(25) We single out for notice


above all what's disjunct, the way birds are,
with their unhooked-up, cheekily anarchic
dartings and flashings,their uncalled-for color—
the indelible look of the rose-breasted grosbeak
(30) an aunt of mine, a noticer


of such things before the noticing had or needed
a name, drew my five-year-old attention up to, in
the green deeps of a maple. She never married,
believed her cat had learned to leave birds alone,
(35) and for years, node after node,


by lingering degrees she made way within for
what wasn't so much a thing as it was a system,
a webwork of error that throve until it killed her.
What is health? We must all die sometime.
(40) Whatever it is out there


in the woods, that begins to seem like
a species of madness, we survive as we can:
the hooked-up, the humdrum, the brief, tragic
wonder of being at all. The whippoorwill out in
(45) the woods, for me, brought back


as by a relay, from a place at such a distance
no recollection now in place could reach so far,
the memory of a memory she told me of once:
of how her father, my grandfather, by whatever
(50) now unfathomable happenstance,


carried her (she might have been five) into the breathing night.
"Listen!" she said he'd said. “Did you hear it?
That was a whippoorwill.” And she (and I) never forgot.

America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly
binds herself to be false to the future. Standing with God and the crushed and bleeding slave on this occasion , I will, in the name of humanity which is outraged, in the name of livery which is fettered, in the name of the constitution and the Bible, which are disregarded and trampled upon, dare to call in question and to denounce, with all the emphasis I can command, everything that serves to perpetuate slavery — the great sun and shame of America !

Just as the Nebraska landscape initially seems formless to Jim, his narrative begins
in a seemingly unstructured way. Many early critics of the novel complained about its
lack of structure and didn’t consider it a proper novel. The book has little in the way of a
conventional plot, but it still forms a cohesive whole. What unifies the narrative? How
does Cather bring the novel full circle, mirroring Jim’s observation, “What a little circle
man’s experience is”?
