• "� John Gillespie Magee �": Here is the poem:

  Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
  And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings,
  Sunward I've 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. Hov'ring there,
  I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
  My eager craft through footless halls of air.
  Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
  I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
  Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
  And, while silent, lifting mind I've trod
  The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
  Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

  Officer Magee wrote that on the back of the envelope in which he had place a letter written to his mother. He was killed in a training accident at the age of 19.
