Short but rather nice!

My son has not inherited my love of poetry… I hope he will come to it one day and love it as I do… meanwhile, here is his favourite poem by Tennyson:

The Eagle

HE clasps the crag with crooked 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.

    Love this,I think it was one of the poems in “The Narrative Art in Verse” which we studied for “O” Level Eng Lit in 1964!
