The Eagle: Tennyson’s Magnificence Six lines profoundly show Probing, Perpetuity, Spirit, and Liberty

Abstract

Lord Alfred Tennyson‟s poem The Eagle is a prominent poem about perpetuity, spirit, and liberation. It is a speculative short poem that might sanction thoughtful readers to profoundly contemplate the several aspects of the universe particularly the natural elements and the symbolical elements. The poem The Eagle is fabricated in reality, though it has to be repositioned outside reality to provide a portrait of life in which its hero is an eagle. The paper intends analytically to evaluate the depth of some significant themes of The Eagle such as probing nature, eternity, essence, and authorization in which the researcher employs the descriptive-critical-analytical scheme. The paper starts with a brief introduction about the poet, to be followed by the main part of the study, which is the analysis of the poem The Eagle: A Fragment. Then it moves to the section of the discussion. The task ends with a concise conclusion.
