Talking of eagles and men reminds me of an old song: Zero she flies by Al Stewart: From the mountain he watches her, biding his time
But his eyes are the eyes of an eagle

<p>In the expression 丘壑 there is a valley and 凛凛  means detached. I found the expression in a poem where it describes the feeling of the poet compared to an eagle, who sees the world from the sky, far and distant.</p>

<p>The whole sentence is 我的丘壑凛凛的心. My question is: does it mean my vast and distant heart, my heart is vast as a valley and distant as the eagle in the sky, a kind of buddhist detachment from the world of mortals?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

# What is the meaning of the expression 丘壑凛凛?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-04-02)

In the expression 丘壑 there is a valley and 凛凛 means detached. I found the expression in a poem where it describes the feeling of the poet compared to an eagle, who sees the world from the sky, far and distant.

The whole sentence is 我的丘壑凛凛的心. My question is: does it mean my vast and distant heart, my heart is vast as a valley and distant as the eagle in the sky, a kind of buddhist detachment from the world of mortals?

Thanks

「丘壑」的原義是「山峰與河谷」，因為它們常處於幽靜偏僻的地方，所以被引申為「隱居、孤獨、離世」的意思。

「凛」和「凛凛」都是「寒冷」的意思。

楊牧在《心之鷹》一詩中，用「鷹」來描寫自己的「心」。

「對真理等等感到厭倦」
是表達不滿、失望與心寒，所以楊牧用「凛凛」。

「但願低飛在人少，近水的臨界 …… 起落於廓大的寂靜」
是表達「孤獨、離世」的意思，所以他用「丘壑」。

「我丘壑凜凜的心」是指「我那離世而失望的心」。

對真理等等感到厭倦 expressed dissatisfaction and disappointment, so 楊牧 used 凛凛.

但願低飛在人少，近水的臨界 …… 起落於廓大的寂靜 expressed loneliness and seclusion, therefore he used 丘壑.

我丘壑凜凜的心 means "my secluded and disappointed mind".
