Painting, Poetry The Eagle August 9, 2012 Larkrise 1 Comment Washington Sea Eagle. John James Audubon. 1839. The Eagle (a fragment) Alfred Lord Tennyson He clasps the crag with crooked hands; Close to the sun in lonely lands, Ring’d with the azure world he stands. The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; He watches from his mountain walls, And like a thunderbolt he falls.
