The Eagle (poem)
"The Eagle (Fragment)" is a short poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, which was first published in 1851.
==History==
Alfred, Lord Tennyson lived during the Victorian Era during the 1800s. This era is widely known for the Romanticism movement in the literary culture. Tennyson was often referred as one of the main representatives of poetry during the Victorian era due to his growing popularity both during and after his time. Romanticism was a reaction to The Enlightenment or the notion that human actions were guided by other forces. The movement as a whole emphasized feeling over thought, and was characterized by imagination, individualism, and freedom. Romantic poets often focused on the idea that nature is beautiful and to understand life, humans must appreciate nature. "The Eagle" shows Tennyson's appreciation of nature.
Although Tennyson has a reputation of a quiet, polite Englishman among other literary figures, he was once part of a small group whom traveled to the border of Spain to deliver money and messages to Spanish Revolutionaries. While he did eventually fall out of the project, he came to enjoy the Pyrenees Mountain Range. This mountain range on the border of France and Spain came to be his favorite place, along with the nearby valley called the Cauteretz.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.shmoop.com/eagle-tennyson/ )〕
"The Eagle" was inspired by Tennyson's frequent travels to the Pyrenees. He frequently saw eagles, raptors, and other birds of prey circling above him in this area. In the poem, Tennyson opted to create an imaginary setting of cliffs by the sea, instead of the mountainside. Tennyson is known for his imagery and transcendental vantage points.
