Those lines “ left his earthly bounds...and touched the face of God.”— were stolen from Ronald Reagan’s comments on the blowing up of the space shuttle. It ticks me off that the media is letting her get away with that, and act like those were her own words. this is going on longer and loonger and looonger.
It’s actually taken from “High Flight”....
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 with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
-John Gillespie Magee, Jr
Hey, Meghan, you can dump on Trump all you want but it’s your dad who is enduring the wrath of God.
