In Nikolai Gumilev's "The Giraffe," the world's sharpness threatens to undermine the innocence of humanity. Fortunately, the narrator is able to acknowledge that "A refined giraffe is roaming" (6). Whatever hardships are endured, it remains inexcusable to give up hope and to "believe in nothing, except rain" (24). To preserve humanity is to have faith. In the pre-ordained destiny. In an improved standard of living. In the conserved beauty of nature. In this way, we can preserve innocence and create peace with ourselves.
