Title: As The Crag Eagle
Author: Max Eastman [ More Titles by Eastman]
As the crag eagle to the zenith's height Wings his pursuit in his exalted hour Of her the tempest-reared, whose airy power Of plume and passion challenges his flight To that wild altitude, where they unite, In mutual tumultuous victory And the swift sting of nature's ecstasy, Their shuddering pinions and their skyward might-- As they, the strong, to the full height of heaven Bear up that joy which to the strong is given, Thus, thus do we, whose stormy spirits quiver In the bold air of utter liberty, Clash equal at our highest, I and thee, Unconquered and unconquering forever!
[The end] Max Eastman's poem: As The Crag Eagle ________________________________________________
