I caught this morning morning’s minion, king-
dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing,
As a skate’s heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend: the hurl and gliding
Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the thing! |

| I'm mostly just disappointed that the attempt by tchwojko and myself to derail this thread in favor of parodied dadaist/surrealist artwork titles was not taken up by more of our f.net compatriots! 'cause, umm, that'd be more fun than another "hey, his arm's way back *here*, how can that be an attack?" retread thread.  | |

| Fencer on the right: If you want to fly like Superman, pull both arms back, get a running start, then jump waaaay high in the air while shouting, "Up, up and away!!!" | |
