The Eagle
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.
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Tool
Overall, Tennyson uses a variety of techniques
to explore the world of the eagle. He
combines alliteration, personification and a
simile and, in my opinion, gives the impression
that the eagle is king and master of all he
surveys. The descriptions suggest that the
eagle is a superior being and is higher in
natural status than even a mountain. Finally,
he starts with a simple, static image which
builds in strength and command and shows
the eagle to be a real tour de force.
