The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn of the crow
Does the Eagle know what is in the pit Or wilt thou go ask the Mole? Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod, Or Love in a golden bowl?
When thou seest an eagle, thou seest a portion of genius; lift up thy head!
Auguries of innocence "The emmet's inch and eagle's mile Make lame philosophy to smile. He who doubts from what he sees Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
