description: The poetry of flight , unlike the poetry of the sail or the wheel, has not had time in which to develop gradually. It is being forced from us with a terrible urgency, though less than forty years have passed since the first flight. A new field of mechanical mastery has opened up; but that has happened before without appreciably broadening man's horizon or deepening his spiritual perspective. It is rather that profoundly in the consciousness of the race the idea of flight is associated with human aspiration and release from physical limitations.
