Preston Powers, Inscription for Bass-Relief

  • For the bass-relief by Preston Powers, carved upon the huge boulder in Denver Park, Col., and representing the Last Indian and the Last Bison.


  • THE EAGLE, stooping from yon snow-blown peaks,

    For the wild hunter and the bison seeks,

    In the changed world below; and finds alone

    Their graven semblance in the eternal stone.
