Poems by William Butler Yeats, Eagle

Here is one more link to Yeat's poem http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/yeats01.html. There are some 25 plus poems here and I think I will memorize many of them. One poem which has always fascinated me is "Eagle" by Alfred lord Tennyson. It's pretty short and beautiful.

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.
