RIP James Goodson - ‘King of the Strafers’ Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward Ive 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. Hovring there, Ive chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up, the long, delirious burning blue Ive topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, nor even eagle flew. And while with silent, lifting mind Ive trod The high un-trespassed sanctity of space... ...put out my hand, and touched the face of God. ~ John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
