Poem

[Step666]

In the film 'G.I. Jane' the officer that trains Demi Moore's character quotes a poem, I'm sorry but I don't know the author or title - therefore that is the information that I seek. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

if you could remember some of the words in the poem, it might help?

Is this the one? It's called 'Self Pity' by DH.Lawrence.

I never saw a wild thing/ sorry for itself./ A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough/ without ever having felt sorry for itself.
