Condensation trails, or "contrails" are one of the first things I can remember learning as a child of a glider pilot. It was in the mid-seventies which now seems like the time of the dinosaurs. This one had been made to look like a dragon soaring across the sky.

Well, with a bit of imagination. Speaking of, the conspiracy theorists have taken to calling these "chemtrails" and now believe that the COVID vaccine is being delivered this way.

rand()m quote

Immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

—T.S. Eliot
