a mighty capacity for rapture

you flew, you flew! yes i saw it darling - two hours you were up there, at least. a farmer in romania spotted you; there were sightings over panama, too.  whole villages gathered to watch you pass over in New Guinea.  Cloud covering prevented the sightings in bhutan.  you did it, you did it, you clever darling. i am so proud. and to think i made your wings of tissue paper.
