Was It Worth While To Forego Our Wings To Gain These Dextrous Hands ? Truly They Fashion Us Wonderful Things As The Fancy Of Man Demands. But - To Fly! To Sail Through The Lucid Air From Crest To Violet Crest Of These Great Grey Mountains, Quartz-Veined And Bare, Where The White Clouds Gather And Rest. Even To Flutter From Flower To Flower, - To Skim The Tops Of The Trees, - In The Roseate Light Of A Sun-Setting Hour To Drift On A Sea-Going Breeze. Ay, The Hands Have Marvellous Skill To Create Us Curious Things, - Baubles, Playthings, Weapons To Kill, - But - I Would We Had Chosen Wings!
