Eagles Quotes - Page 9

• Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards.
  Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow.
  At first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens.
  Out of my heart a bird flew skywards. And it waxed larger as it flew. Yet it left not my heart.

• Religion, which true policy befriends,
  Designed by God to serve man's noblest ends,
  Is by that old deceiver's subtle play
  Made the chief party in its own decay,
  And meets the eagle's destiny, whose breast
  Felt the same shaft which his own feathers drest.

• I have often been reminded of the wild duck that came down on migration into a barnyard and liked it so well that he stayed there. In the fall his erstwhile companions passed overhead and his first impulse was to rise and join them, but he had fed too well and could rise no higher than the eaves of the barn. The day came when his old fellow travelers could pass overhead without his even hearing their call. I have seen men and women who once mounted up with wings like eagles but are now content to live in the barnyard of this world.

Frank Barked, which Leo figured was probably severe profanity for him.
