Description
"While the immortal with the mortal linkedDreams of its wings and pines for what it dreams,
With upward yearn unceasing."
James Russell Lowell Prometheus 1852
A twist on the myth of Prometheus who was punished by the gods by being chained to a rock where an eagle came every day to eat out his heart (or liver, in some versions of the story).
And every night his heart grew back, and every morning the eagle returned to tear it out again.

But this seems much more uplifting than Prometheus. I see more of birds devouring the body to free the soul trapped inside. I agree with the above comment though..this might be one of my favorite pieces of yours so far. Something about the simplicity of the image..it just clicks!
