Dancing On Air (1903-2003) Herbert Woodward Martin [Herbert.Martin@notes.udayton.edu] I am thinking of those fabulous Wright Brothers Who seemed to put the seams of the ancient Elements: fire, water, air and earth Together correctly with the physics of flight: Metal and gears, wood and glass, petrol and oil. They took on the expansive air and flew like birds, Like Vaslav Nijinsky or Isadora Duncan who By leaps and bounds, scales and climbs, Rises and descents, carefully defied space with The coordinated bones and muscles of their bodies. So their implements let them fly Like their fellow citizen who took words And sailed the skies with them brothers of an idea. |
