The Heart’s Cry was written in praise of feminine qualities. The text refers to the salmon and the eagle. The salmon was traditionally a symbol for wisdom in Irish folklore, and its daring journey back to its birthplace is a wonderful example of the powerful instinct to procreate in nature. The eagle’s fierce protection of its young is a symbol for motherhood.
