An Anthology of Czechoslovak Literature/The Eagles of Discontent
The Eagles of Discontent
E’en where the heart would have flown—
To the rugged crag beyond thine eyes,
Where a man may perish alone.
To the sun is a distant flight,
And farther at autumn-tide is the way,
Treacherous is the height.
With their dreaming all fordone:
“We to the highest summit have swept,
Why might we not reach the sun?”
Daring Ventures (1906)
