I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred 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 heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

He was killed during a test flight on December 11, 1941. This poem is about how Gillespie Magee Jr. felt while flying his machine, and he very much describes his experience in a way that shows the beauty of being in the air force. By writing this poem, he spoke for many people and how they felt about flying, and he really brought out the joy in being able to experience how it feels to be in the sky.]]> 2019-11-07 16:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mrussell22wm/1ty2ns979ig7/wish/408175535 Hurdling Grenades mrussell22wm https://padlet.com/mrussell22wm/1ty2ns979ig7/wish/408190980 The picture below shows Americans tossing grenades into Austrian trenches in Italy in 1918.
