High Flight by John Magee Personification Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirthOf sun-split clouds - and done a hundred thingsYou have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swungHigh in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,I've chased the shouting wind along, and flungMy eager craft through footless halls of air.Up, up the long delirious burning blueI've topped the wind-swept heights with easy graceWhere never lark, or even eagle flew .And while with silent lifting mind I've trodThe high untrespassed sanctity of space,Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
