Poem, discoverpoetry.com:
The Eagle by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
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.
The eagle has pin-point vision that sees all from the highest vantage point, sweeping the landscape for movement. It plunges purposefully, at just the right moment, with swiftness and accuracy. It is powerful and strong, with sharp beak and claws that can rip the heart out of an animal. It works in solitude, loftier than all other birds: majestic, magnificent.
ADVICE: It may be a time for you to expand your view of life, taking a broad, but eagle-eyed, approach to the possibilities before you. Pay attention to your vision, your plan, your dream, then commit to it with complete focus on your goal. There is no time for over-thinking and analysis – take swift, direct action. Seize opportunities seriously. Soar to new heights, even if it means temporary solitude.
“You become excellent when you fly at a level that creates a wide gap between where you were before and where you are now. Fly like the eagle; the eagle flies as if it never remembered it was once an egg!” – Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes
