The Eagle by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

A Fragment.

HE clasps the

crag with hookèd hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

    These paintings are of Harpy Eagles. They are the largest rainforest eagles and often hunt monkeys out of trees. I sometimes think they look uncanny when viewed face to face, like a person in a bird costume, so they are a little scary. 😅

    I am always happy to read Tennyson's poems. Along with Walter Scott he must be among my favourite poets.
