Leonardo Dreams of his Flying Machine…[00:08:40]

Tormented by visions of flight and falling,[00:08:40]

More wondrous and terrible each than the last,[00:08:40]

Master Leonardo imagines an engine[00:08:40]

To carry a man up into the sun…[00:08:40]

And as he’s dreaming the heavens call him,[00:08:40]

“Leonardo. Leonardo, vieni á volare”. (“Leonardo. Leonardo, come fly”.)[00:08:40]

L’uomo colle sua congiegniate e grandi ale,[00:08:40]

facciendo forza contro alla resistente aria.[00:08:40]

(A man with wings large enough and duly connected[00:08:40]

might learn to overcome the resistance of the air.)[00:08:40]

II.[00:08:40]

Leonardo Dreams of his Flying Machine…[00:08:40]

As the candles burn low he paces and writes,[00:08:40]

Releasing purchased pigeons one by one[00:08:40]

Into the golden Tuscan sunrise…[00:08:40]

And as he dreams, again the calling,[00:08:40]

The very air itself gives voice:[00:08:40]

“Leonardo. Leonardo, vieni á volare”. (“Leonardo. Leonardo, come fly”.)[00:08:40]

Vicina all’elemento del fuoco…[00:08:40]

(Close to the sphere of elemental fire…)[00:08:40]

Scratching quill on crumpled paper,[00:08:40]

Rete, canna, filo, carta.[00:08:40]

(Net, cane, thread, paper.)[00:08:40]

Images of wing and frame and fabric fastened tightly.[00:08:40]

…sulla suprema sottile aria.[00:08:40]

(…in the highest and rarest atmosphere.)[00:08:40]

III.[00:08:40]

Master Leonardo Da Vinci Dreams of his Flying Machine…[00:08:40]

As the midnight watchtower tolls,[00:08:40]

Over rooftop, street and dome,[00:08:40]

The triumph of a human being ascending[00:08:40]

In the dreaming of a mortal man.[00:08:40]

Leonardo steels himself,[00:08:40]

takes one last breath,[00:08:40]

and leaps…[00:08:40]
