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?

Siegfried Sassoon·1886–1967
ou understand my thoughts; though, when you think,You're out beyond the boundaries of my brain.I'm but a bird at dawn that cries, 'chink, chink'--A garden-bird that warbles in the rain.And you're the flying-man, the speck that steersA careful course; far down the verge of day,Half-way across the world. Above the yearsYou soar ... Is death so bad? ... I wish you'd say.
