  • 1 Poems About Eagles This Is a Collection of Poems
    Poems About Eagles This is a collection of poems - old and new - that have been written about eagles. Some you may recognize because they are included in anthologies. Others are from “Kindred Spirits” whose musings about eagles lead them to put pen to paper. Some have been sent to us to share, and we are happy to do so here. If you have a poem you’d like to share about eagles, please email [email protected]. The Dalliance of Eagles by Walt Whitman Skirting the river road, (my forenoon walk, my rest,) Skyward in air a sudden muffled sound, the dalliance of the eagles, The rushing amorous contact high in space together, The clinching interlocking claws, a living, fierce, gyrating wheel, Four beating wings, two beaks, a swirling mass tight grappling, In tumbling turning clustering loops, straight downward falling, Till o’er the river pois’d, the twain yet one, a moment’s lull, A motionless still balance in the air, then parting, talons loosing, Upward again on slow-firm pinions slanting, their separate diverse flight, She hers, he his, pursuing. f The Eagle Isaiah 40:31 by Edwin Curran KJV The dome of heaven is thy house But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their Bird of the mighty wing, strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they The silver stars are as thy boughs shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not Around thee circling. faint. f Thy perch is on the eaves of heaven Thy white throne all the skies Thou art like lightning driven Flashing over paradise! f 1 The Eagle by Isaac McLellan (1806-1899) Monarch of the realms supernal, Thou wingest where a tropic sky Ranger of the land and sea, Bendeth its celestial dome, Symbol of the Grand Republic, Where sparkling waters greet the eye, Who so noble and so free? And gentlest breezes fan the foam; Thine the boundless fields of either, Where spicy breath from groves of palm, Heaven’s unfathom’d depths are thine; Laden with aromatic balm, Far beyond our human vision, Blows ever, mingled with perfume On thy vans the sunbeams shine.

    MOURNING AGAIN IN AMERICA: MEMORIAL DAY, MONUMENTS, AND THE POLITICS OF REMEMBRANCE Lucy Britt A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Political Science in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Susan Bickford Michael Lienesch Jeff Spinner-Halev © 2017 Lucy Britt ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Lucy Britt: Mourning Again in America: Memorial Day, Monuments, and the Politics of Remembrance (Under the Direction of Susan Bickford) The subjects and modes of mourning undertaken in public are consequential for past and continuing injustices because they indicate what a society cares about remembering and how. Holidays and monuments, as expressions of civil religion, affect how citizens read their history by rejecting or legitimating state violence and war in the future. Counter-narratives such as those from oppressed groups often emerge to challenge dominant narratives of civil religion. Close readers of civil religious ceremonies and markers such as Memorial Day and Confederate memorials should undertake a critical examination of the symbols’ historical meanings. I propose a politics of mourning that leverages the legal doctrine of government speech to reject impartiality and construct a public sphere in which different narratives of history are acknowledged but not all are endorsed. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES .......................................................................................................................
