Our hopes, like towering falcons, aim
At objects in an airy height;
The little pleasure of the game
Is from afar to view the flight.
A falcon, towering in her pride of place,
Was by a mousing owl hawk'd at and kill'd.
Towering in the confidence of twenty-one.
The bravery of his grief did put me
Into a towering passion.
