The Dalliance of The Eagles
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 moments 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.

WOW, Gillie, I'm in awe, my jaw hit the table on this one. I spent the day out watching these beauties flying high, fishing, and just being free, you captured their majestic look spot on!
