High Flight

John Gillespie Magee, Jr

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.

I am truly excited to present you this piece. Much work went into this beauty. Many lovely details hand pierced and formed. 

Detailed and dimensional hummingbird rests on the colonial window amongst leaves. I have added Royston Tusquoise and VOILA :)

Perfectly finished patina.

This one is one of a kind and ships the next working day. 
Bo customs at the moment, sorry.
Love
Mag
