THOMAS ANDREWS In every age mankind attemps To fabricate great works At once magnificent And impossible... On desert sounds, from mountains of stone A pyramid! From flying buttresses alone A wall of light! A chapel ceiling Screaming one man´s ecstasy One man´s ecstasy... Miracles them all! China´s endless wall... Stonehenge, the Pathenon, the Duomo, The aqueducts of Rome. We did not attemp to make With mommoth blocks of stone A giant pyramid No, not a pyramid... Nor gothik walls that radiate with light... Our task was to dream upon And then create A floating city!... Floating city!... A human metropolis... A complete civilisation! Sleek! And fast! At once a poem And the perfection Of physical engineering... At once a poem And the perfection Of physical engineering...
