Stolen from John Magee:

Interesting. As soon as I read the poem I wondered if he was a pilot. Little did I know…

High Flight

The famous aviation poem written in 1941 by 19-year-old Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee Jr, three months before he was killed.

Inscribed on his gravestone are the first and last lines from his poem:
“Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth -
Put out my hand and touched the Face of God.”

I’m gonna go now because before I read any stupid politician’s B.S. that’ll ruin my mood after learning about this.
