Background
'The Eagle' is a poem written by the Englishman Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Tennyson lived during the Victorian Era, during the 1800s. In this era, a movement called Romanticism became extremely popular within the literary society. It was the reaction to the previous Age of Reason among the culture.
Romanticism focused on freedom instead of formalism, individualism instead of conformity, and imagination instead of reality. Romantic poets believed that nature was beautiful, and humans are the center of nature. They believed humans should get in touch with their inner soul by appreciating the beauty of nature. Tennyson's 'The Eagle' clearly shows an emphasis on appreciating nature.
Poem and Summary
Let's take a look at this poem:
'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.
