The two-stanza poem “The Eagle” by Alfred Lord Tennyson explores the strength and loneliness of a lone eagle perched on a steep precipice. The speaker of the poem opens by describing a lone eagle perched on a precipitous precipice. He can see the entire “azure world” above and around him from where he is seated, where his “crooked hands” are firmly grasping the rocks. Tennyson’s eagle is in a true position of authority and dives as soon as he is prepared to, and not a second earlier. He makes his surprise move, barreling towards the water in pursuit of prey, in the last queue.
