Ufo

. . . I looked down. Observed the world below, all the caves with
rats, poor pansions-pensions with cockroaches, houses with yellow
scotches and without, gaming-houses, and museums, churches,
deserted towers, seemed from above cosy miniature swallows nests
on the background of soft greenery of forest-hills and extended
afar, afar, absorbed by space a water azure..


And burden and risk of the ascent made sense.
