Where Eagles Dare-Where Eagles Dare

where Eagles dare the golden horizon seen... man weary from war. where Eagles dare humanity in conflict... such is intellect. where Eagles dare per ardua ad astra... folly of mankind. © Harry J Horsman 2011

Love this poem, Harry. Reminds me of Reginald Mitchell's life...his undying quest for perfection. The spitfire was this mastermind's glory, yet never to be realized until his death. Look where u took me! ha ha. Happy New Year, harry. from, Gwendolen

Although I haven't seen this film, I can sense the patriotic spirit you describe so well, Harry. I think we are all gettting "weary from war" now. Join me in a prayer for peace. Excellent entry for Andrea and Nikko's contest! This has to be a winner. Wishing you many blessings in the coming year, love, Carolyn
