Hi,

Here is a Friday notable quote; a break from the monotony of

talking shop.

#############################################

Oh, 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. Hovering
there I've chased the shouting wind along and flung My eager craft
through footless halls of air. Up, up along delirious, burning blue I've
topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, Where never lark, or even
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. -- John Gillespie Magee Jr., "High Flight"
