"Below on the ground, the watchful radio men in their shacks take down submissively in their notebooks the dictation of their comrade in the air…and so they fly on, with no thought that they are in motion. Like night over the sea they are very far from the earth, from towns, from trees. The motors fill the lighted chamber with a quiver that changes its substance. The clock ticks on. The dials, the radio lamps, the various hands and needles go through their invisible alchemy..."

“The first stars tremble as if shimmering in green water...hours must pass before their glimmer hardens into the frozen glitter of diamonds. I shall have a long wait before I witness the soundless frolic of the shooting stars. In the profound darkness of certain nights I have seen the sky streaked with so many trailing sparks that it seemed to me a great gale must be blowing through the outer heavens...”

- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "Wind, Sand, & Stars," 1939
