The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who...looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space...on the infinite highway of the air.

It is better to confess under the gallows, then not at all

Am not IA fly like thee?Or art not thouA man like me?

This Adonis in loveliness was a corpulent man of fifty.
