About this poem

The human being tries to reach the knowledge of the unknown but fails because of the temptation of reaching it in a short time( the rush and anger). The wise ones are represented by the eagle which has already gone through this experience( "a thought") and the faith cannot be changed. The eyes and hands symbolize the knowledge and the strength that fade away step by step ( the light becomes a problem as well as the small pieces of dust). The moment when he reaches the clouds means that he is close to the wisdom everyone dreamt of, the knowledge of the unknown and so, the mind refuses to continue in the same rush and tries to reach "the hand"( trying to change the path he created which is impossible) and that's the moment when humanity collapses. The only thing we see after it is a "crowd" of bones that get hit by falling rocks from time to time, which creates the transition to the end of this man's journey who was unable to resist to his tricky mind and, just like the others, he had to pay the cost the eagle clarified in the beginning by blinking. more »
