THE EAGLE

How 6 lines of poetry can knock you sideways.  From the master, Alfred Lord Tennyson:  


THE EAGLE

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
