" The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long...
...and
you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy. " |
Oh!
I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew
—
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Design Notes :
Rutger Hauer's soliloquy nearing the end of Ridley Scott's Bladerunner has always resonated with me.
I attempted to transfer the speech into a visual medium. This piece won't be finished until I create my own version of the enigmatic Tannhäuser gate (noted as the name of a battle in Bladerunner's side-quel "Soldier".
Soundtrack (music to draw to) : Vangelis - Bladerunner film score (Both versions)
