“And should I not, had I but known, have flung the machine this way and that, once more to feel it live under my hand, have sported in the sky and laughed and sung, knowing that never after should I feel so free, so sure in hazard, so secure, riding the daylight in the pride of youth?

Down to the little earth!” WayFeelsShouldLittlesHandsEarthKnownKnowingSkyYouthPrideMachinesBlueWingsFlightSecureAviationHorizonLaughedRidingShould IFarewellDaylightHazardsEver After Author:Cecil Arthur Lewis

Then the wide plain ruled to the far horizon. Soon the aerodrome.” GivingHeavenPerfectCitiesSouthPatternsWideFlightParksTemplesAviationSignificanceHorizon Author:Cecil Arthur Lewis
