Explanation:

In the poem The Eagle, by Alfred Lord Tennyson, the eagle is compared to the thunderbolt. Thunderbolt is a flash of lightning.  

The eagle in a flash soars high and dips low immediately with the same lightning speed. The quickness and the swiftness make the poet to compare the eagle with the thunderbolt.  

The poem ends with eagle diving into the sea which makes it look like a thunderbolt. The speed of the eagle when it soars high as well as when it comes down is bizarre to watch.  

This perhaps made the poet to compare the eagle in the last part to the thunderbolt.
