Robert Penn Warren （ 1905 - 1989） was, among the 20th century＇ s American writers, distinguished as the figure of the Renaissance man, and regarded as a great poet fully comparable to Thomas Hardy, William Butler Yeats and Wallace Stevens. Out of the Warren＇ s poetry career extended for sixty years, the poems on animals rank as an important role. Warren＇ s poems discover that the animal being demonstrates the essential characteristics of life, such as mystery and purity, sense of responsibility and mission, and innocence of evil and ability to recover. These poems on animals origin profoundly in his believing of St. Augustine Christian philosophy, and bear his aims to cure the disease of his time, which help enrich the human＇ s knowledge of self, enlighten and recover their virtues, and correct their crimes.
