Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809 – 1892)

Alfred Lord Tennyson

“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.”

Alfred, Lord Tennyson, “The Eagle, A Fragment”
