Fly like an eagle, …. a vision-idea of the effects produced by my own condition, no offense, I think that the word-idea freedom is prostituted in many countries that are determined to create a scenary of eternal freedom or absolute. Freedom seems more a lightness that only occurs in some fragments of time, at least in my life. - Liqen
Symbols are traps for ideas. The eagle, constellation Aquila, is a part of the zodiac sign Scorpio. The eagle is also the dove. On two wings it is at once war and peace, oppression and freedom .
- Doves, are awarded medals of honor for military service. The peaceful eagle soars free while the war pigeon is captive, serving man.
"The evening star (der Abendstern, Hesperus) and the morning star (der Morgenstern, Phosphorus)"
- My two cents, keep the penny my thoughts are still free.
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.
by Alfred Lord Tennyson
