"Sweet Maiden, come here and lay down beside me, so that we may share a glass of wine and then I may satisfy all your heart desires"

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 nor ever eagle flew— And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

High Flight

John Gillespie Magee, Jr.  1922-1941

Some ppl just can't have enough of the pleasure of finishing a book, however...they can't avoid the sadness of knowing that it is over.

This is why I feel way more happier when I get to the middle of a book, because I've got to know the story, and the good thing is that there's way more to see and learn about it! It's a mystery that I want to enjoy as much as I can!
