    Bird of Wax: Icarus

    Little wings who fly too high
    Above the haloed moon
    Will melt away,
    Fall back to clay
    Back to their earthen womb

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
