Talk:The Eagle (poem)

We are adding background to the poem, and hoping to learn how to format the poem into stanza's instead of the weird lines it in in now. We found background on the poem itself, but we plan on adding more history and context to the poem as we find more sources. Next we plan on dissecting the poem line by line, so that we can have an in depth discussion and understanding about the poem. We might add images of Tennyson, to bulk up the page too.

The eagle 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.

Added another source and a few sentences. GordonCass (talk) 22:00, 26 May 2015 (UTC) I've added another source, for the background and interpretations. GordonCass (talk) 23:38, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This page is really interesting! You have a lot of good info here. When I was reading the introduction though, I felt more like I was already reading the literary criticism about the poem. General background would be more useful here, I think: date of publication, a little about the author, etc. Otherwise, looks good. Sarah darling01 (talk) 22:22, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
