Thinking to the Shuttle crew
"Oh I Have Slipped The Surly Bonds of Earth... Put Out My Hand And Touched the Face of God" *************************************** John Gillespie Maggee, killed in action at the age of 19 was serving with the Royal Canadian Air Force, some days before his death wrote: "Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed and joined the trembling mirth of sun-split clouds - and done 100 things you have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept hills with easy grace, Where never lark, or even eagle flew; And, while with silent, lifting mind, I trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God!" -- Chiara |
