THE EAGLE

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.

--ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON.

Men must reap the things they sow,

Force from force must ever flow.
