"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." Tennyson "The Eagle"

Was it actually "hands" and not claws ?    Interesting.  Obviously I forgot.   Naturally it makes sense, since that rhymes with "lands",  however I didn't think that first verse rhymed in "The Eagle"..   Oh well,

Well, Just another addition to the "these areas are not my forte" list

Thank God for Google.

I find this quite humorous Jerry.    The following post is from a "riddle" board.   From the looks of the problem solving capabilities, I think I'm starting to figure out what's wrong with our educational system today.  This is an adults response  :(


This is pretty funny.
(Considering "The Eagle" is the poem title from A.L. Tennyson)
