I Was Flying in an Aeroplane and Felt the Earth
A passenger describes a flight in an Antoinette aeroplane with vivid, surreal impressions. The experience shifts from groundlike fear to a sense of solid, adamantine surfaces beneath the wings as the craft soars into the azure sky, blending geology with the thrill of flight. The narrator compares the ride to drilling through a rock pile, feeling the earth itself grip and propel the machine through a surreal, diamond-bristled path.
