Abstract
One of the literary influences in No Country for Old Men is Robinson Jeffers's poem “Hurt Hawks.” A passage involving Sheriff Bell's discovery of a dead hawk on the desert highway points clearly to echoes of Jeffers's moving account of a wounded hawk in his poem first published in 1928. McCarthy's literary models are impeccable.
