15. Pity lyrics never let one hear the music or feel the song's atmosphere...
"The eagle soars above the clouds
The deer ran into the hills
And I may walk in cities
Where the wolf once had his fill."
From Quiz Big Country - Identify Song From Lyrics
Answer:
Eiledon
A very nice song with some nice music. I originally thought "Eiledon" was the name of a girl, or a name for the eagle in the song, or even a place in Scotland. But in fact it means something entirely different. I did some internet research and found the following:
First, there is Eildon, a historically notable "beauty spot" whose ancient inhabitants opposed the Roman occupation... Second, there is the word "eidolon" which suggests something which is seen but not quite real. This word can connote something dark and ominous, as in Poe's verse (and in Stuart's warning that "reckoning is drawing near"), but can also mean an ideal, an imaginary thing which is yearned for by the writer. By combining these two distinct words -- Eildon and eidolon -- into "Eiledon", Stuart creates his own ideal "place to call my own". Eiledon is an imaginary place, but it still provides "strength... to see the future through."
It sounds plausible enough.
