CHAPTER VIII THE EAGLE, GOOSE, PEACOCK, PELICAN, RAVEN The Bestiaries say that when the eagle hasgrown old and is nearly blind, it flies up intothe air, till it scorches its wings in the heatof the sun. Then it plunges straight into purewater three times, from which it emergesyoung once more. A similar story about theeagle is told in Spensers Faerie Queene. The original source of this story about theeagle is no doubt partly to be found in Ps.ciii. 5, which in the Septuagint and Vulgateis rendered, Thy youth shall be renewedas the eagles. In our Prayer Book we have making thee young and lusty as an eagle.The representation of the eagle renewing itsyouth was supposed to symbolise the sacra-ment of Baptism. Hence it is peculiarlysuitable on fonts. An example of the same fable can no doubtbe seen on a bench-end in Forrabury Church,which is now part of the altar. The tailfeathers of an eagle which has just made therejuvenating plunge can also be seen. 133 SYMBOLISM OF ANIMALS IN The eagle
